Apley (G. S.)

Apley (G. S.) is known for developing the Apley’s test, a clinical maneuver used to diagnose knee injuries, particularly those affecting the cartilage and ligaments. During the test, a healthcare provider gently pushes and pulls the patient’s bent knee while the patient reports pain or locking sensations. This helps identify issues like meniscal tears or ligament damage by reproducing symptoms. The test is valuable for evaluating knee joint stability and internal structures, guiding appropriate treatment decisions in a straightforward, non-invasive manner.
