3Ps Exam | Actual Questions and Answers Latest Updated
2024/2025 (Graded A+)
Jobe Test (Empty Can) - Answer- Empty can test to evaluate rotator cuff
Cozen's Test - Answer- evaluate for lateral epicondylitis or, tennis elbow

radially deviating and extending the wrist against resistance by the examiner. (The test may be
more sensitive when done in full extension at
the elbow)

external rotation while the patient is face-up to assess the integrity of the meniscus
speed test - Answer- Evaluate for superior labrum anterior posterior tear or bicep tendinopathy

cortisol, anemia, neutropenia, hypercalemia
Genu recurvatum - Answer- rare congenital anomaly that involves the dislocation or hyper
extension of one or both knees usually the result of breech positioning
