•Classical laxity tests are not designed to isolate specific ligaments.•A methodology to identify optimal laxity tests was developed.•Optimal laxity tests to either maximally stretch or isolate a ligament were found. Laxity tests are performed to diagnose ligament injuries or to estimate subject-spe...
