Unsure if you've torn your ACL? Here's a simple hands-on test, called the Lever Test, that you can try to assess whether your ACL is in fact torn or intact. In this video, one of our physical therapists from JAG PT walks you through how to perform the test and explains what would indicate whether you've damaged your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
The Lever Test is a clinically recognized screening tool used by physical therapists and sports medicine professionals to detect potential ACL tears without using imaging tools. Understanding what your results mean could be the first step toward getting the right care faster.
