It applies a controlled \u201cvalgus\u201d force, meaning the lower leg is gently pushed outward relative to the thigh. It is commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, emergency care, and physical therapy after knee injuries. It helps clinicians decide whether the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and nearby tissues may be sprained or torn."}
