Patient Position
Seated with the foot in STJN
Patient Position
Seated with the foot in STJN
Examiner Position
Positioned at the patient’s feet
Step 1
Identify and mark the head of the 1st MT, Navicular tuberosity, and Apex of Medial Malleolus
Step 2
Measure the angle created by these lines with a goniometer.
Step 3
Repeat measurement with patient standing with weight evenly distributed.
Step 4
Calculate the difference between the first and second measurements to assess ROM.
