Cabot's manoeuvre: The heel is placed on the tibial crest of the opposite leg. The knee is gradually flexed, while the heel runs along the tibial crest. This movement may produce lateral pain, when the knee is in 90° of flexion with the heel resting on the other leg (Cabot's position). The lateral compartment is distracted by pressure on the medial side of the knee; this, too, may be painful.
