hi friend
what tests you did is fine.you are on right track.
i suggest you to try i more test
make the patient to sit in high sitting with knees hanging down at 90 degrees.in this position take tibia to medial rotation and at the end range ask the patient to try active lateral tibial rotation which you have to resist and see the response.

hi
make the patient to sit in high sitting position .apply 3-4 kg weight cuff aroung ankle and encourage gentle oscillatory movements of the knee into flexion-extension for 5-10 minutes.reassess and ask for subjective response too
