46
Q

Talar tilt

A

Same hand position as anterior drawer; tilt calcaneus into inversion and eversion

47
Q

External rotation test

A

1 hand grabs proximal to malleolus; one hand grabs foot; externally rotate foot; can add dorsiflexion

48
Q

Bump test

A

With foot relaxed, bump calcaneus with heel of hand; with foot passively dorsiflexed bump calcaneus with heel of hand

49
Q

Squeeze test

52
Q

Active ROM

A

Athlete moves in 4 ankle movements; place hand on top, bottom, inside, and outside of ankle and they try to touch hand

53
Q

Passive ROM

A

Athlete is a puppet and you move ankle in four movements

54
Q

Resistive ROM

A

Hand stabilizes proximal malleolus, one hand resists movement of ankle

55
