Épreuve du «rebond». Cette épreuve est pratiquée pour apprécier un défaut d'hyperextension, le plus souvent secondaire à une lésion méniscale, à un corps étranger intra-articulaire ou à un oedème intra-capsulaire. Le patient étant en décubitus dorsal sur la table, empaumez son talon et mettez son genou en flexion complète. Puis, laissez passivement son genou aller en extension. Le genou doit se mettre en extension totale, avec un rebond ultime précis. Si le genou n'arrive pas à cette position ultime offrant une résistance molle, il existe probablement une lésion méniscale ou un autre blocage [...] et le rebond ne peut se produire. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9preuve%20du%20rebond
