Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep tendon reflexes (DTRs) are not typically assessed in the evaluation of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprain. DTRs are assessed in conditions such as possible brain lesions, lumbar disc herniation, and concussion, where neurological function may be affected. However, ACL sprain involves the evaluation of joint stability and range of motion, rather than neurological function.
