Tone - Leg Traction on Physical Exam Leg traction is done by holding the leg by the ankle. The leg is pulled upward until the buttock starts to be lifted off the mat. The knee should maintain a flexed angle. Full extension of the knee with little resistance to pulling on the leg is a sign of hypotonia. #Leg #Traction #Lower #Extremity #tone #Newborn #PhysicalExam #clinical #video #peds #pediatrics
