I was writing patient notes this evening for a patient that pops his knee into extension after heel strike and before mid-stance. This is pretty typical in patients with weakness around the knee, as you all know and I'm sure have seen in your practice.
My question is: What is proper terminology for a knee that pops momentarily in gait?.
I like to keep good notes, I don't like lawyers(lol). I have been practicing a long time and can't remember ever coming accross terminology which described this particular deviation in gait.
If there isn't one, I recommend the term pops, as this would not only validate an old man, but also validate over 20 years of notes.
