Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Part 1: Range of motion of the external- and internal rotation of the<br /><br>knee.Outcome in degree of rotational motion.<br /><br>ndfeel of the passive manual test normal/limited<br /><br>Part 2: Passive motion of the external- and internal rotation of the knee using<br /><br>a manual test and its end-feel. The outcome will be normal or limited.<br /><br>With the outcome we can calculate the intra- and interobserver reliability and<br /><br>the Kappa<br /><br>Part 3: Agreement between quantitative and qualitative .
