How do you peform this test?
What is the normal ROM for the first metatarsophlangeal flexion and extension?
45o (flextion)
70-90 (extension)
achillies tendon nerve root
S1
L1-L3 dermatone
anteromedial thigh
L4 dermatone
patella and big toe
L5 dermatone
anterior leg, ankle, and big toe
s1 dermatone
lateral leg and small toe
s1-s4
posterior thigh
anterior drawer test
grasp posterior calcaneous with one hand and dstla fibula and tibula with other hand (monitoring the anterior talus)
- provide anterior force on calcaneus whiel stablizing the distal tiba and fibula
- normal sprining of calcaneus back to neutral should occur
+ test: pain, no sprining, exsiving motion and laxitiy
Dx: ATF ligament pathology or tear
Talar tilt test
- grab distal tiba or fibula with one hand and inferor calcaneus with the other
- invert the talus in for ROM
+ test: increased rom, pain or laxity
indication: calcanofibular lagment pathology, also test some ATF (lateral ankle sprain)
eversion test
- grasp ditsl tibia and fibula with one hand and the plantar surface of the mid foot with the other hand
- evert foot to evaluate ROM
+test: increaed ROM
-indication: deltoid ligament pathology (medial ankle sprain)
squeeze test
wrap hand around leg, proximal to then ankle contacting the distal tiba anf fibula
-squeeze for 2-3 seconds and then reslese
+ test: pain at syndesmosos
-indcation: sydnesmosis pathology
Thompson test:
patient prone with foot off the table, squeeze the patients falf and obverve for plantar flextion
+ test: absense of plantar flextion
indication: achilles tendon rupture
Homan sign
- patient lying or seated with knee extended
- dorsiflex the patiens foot
+ test: pain with dorsflextion, indication DVT or thrombophlebitis
inversion ankle sprain
- latearl ankle sprain
- ligaments invloved: anterior talofibular
- calanofibular
- postero talofibular
caued by ankle inversion with plantar flexion
mortons neuroma
inflamation and tickneing of tissue that surroudns the nerve between toes (3-4th)
- feels like they are walking on marbles
- test: mulder sign: clicking senstsion upon palpating with one hand of the third web sapce and the other hand compresing the transverse arch
Turf toe
infalmation and pain at the pase of the first metotarsalphlangeal joint
-caused by hperexetnsion og great toe causing damage to joint capsule
achilles dtendonitist
inflamation of achilles tendon, presents as a sharp heel pain and sfitness at mid achilles tendon
- pain worse with strenous excerzie and better with walking
- associated with thight calf muscles, suddent change in activity, poorly fitting shoes, incorrent runing techinque
