31
Q

what muscles contribute to plantarflexion

A

gastrocnemius
soleus

32
Q

how many raises = what strength grade for gastroc/soleus

A

2+ = clear the heel but not a full rep
3 = 1 to 9 full reps
4 = 10 to 24 full reps
5 = >25 reps

33
Q

what could examples of fatigue be in the gastroc/soleus gravity resisted test

A

lack of full ROM
non-smooth reps
ratcheting on the way down
compensation of momentum
leaning on / putting too much weight into support

34
Q

what is the gravity eliminated position for gastroc? soleus?

A

G =
side-lying on testing limb
hip/knee extended

S =
knee flexed instead of extended

35
Q

how may someone substitute in the plantarflexion wb test

A

FHL or FDL - toe flexion / lack of calcaneus movement

fib long/brevis - eversion

tib posterior - invert

36
Q

if knee is flexed, ______% of activity decreases in the ________

A

70% of activity in gastrocnemius

Q

if a patient has a NWB restriction, how is plantarflexion tested?

A

brevis - at 5th metatarsal
longus - at 1st metatarsal

gravity resisted test for lumbricals and flexor hallucis brevis

A

seated or supine with ankle in neutral and feet off edge of table
patient asked to bend toes at first knuckle
resistance over proximal phalanx of
1st toe = flexor hallucis brevis
2-5 toe = lumbricals

51
Q

gravity eliminated positioning for lumbricals and flexor hallucis brevis

A

no test for below 3
2 = flex through partial range

52
