Also, would this (except holding your pull while the patient bends knee back against your force) potentially allow a patient to bend their knee fully if they can't on their own due to extreme pain when trying if it were due to patella maltracking? Such as after muscle loss/imbalance after an injury? Would it do so because it forces a muscle activation that otherwise isn't working for the patient?

I would appreciate insight on this. I had a knee injury and when my physical therapist does this posterior to anterior technique while I am on my back, it is the only way I can bend my knee deeply without pain. The pain is so intense if I try to do it on my own that I can't. The MRI failed to show why (only showed unrelated pre-existing minor things that never limited or really affected me at all, was active and fully capable). I've become quite disabled after this injury and felt the injury when it occurred. Please, if someone can tell me, are there any other damages that this technique would 'bypass' or allow the deep bending of the knee other than meniscus tears? If the patella is maltracking due to a ligament tear or something, would this technique also work for that by supporting the knee or something?

It's a possibility that you had subchondral bone damage and perhaps some degree of osteoarthritis. This can cause pain in flexion and terminal extension, especially in weight-bearing.
