What is Homan’s sign
pt. prone, stab. leg and passively DF foot, pain=DVT
thompson’s test
squeeze calf to assess integrity of achilles tendon
how to find subtalar neutral
Patient is prone with foot unsupported
Grasp the foot over the 4th and 5th MT heads with index finger and thumb
With the other hand palpate the talus on the dorsum of the foot using thumb and index finger
Move foot medially and laterally until the talus disappears/feels equal on both sides.
Passively dorsiflex the foot to lock into subtalar neutral
when do u perform cuboid whip
when u suspect the cuboid is stuck plantarly
