marked plantar flexion of the ankle, add compression force through calcaneus so that T>70% reduced
medial ankle, tibialis anterior
inferior to the medial malleolus along the deltoid L
INV ir

EV er
pt is lateral recumbent with pillow under effected leg apply an eversion force with slight shear/external rotation of foot so that T>70% reduced
flexion calcaneus quadratus plantae
anterior aspect of the calcaneus on the plantar surface of the foot at the attachment of the plantar fascia
patient prone, doc on ipsi side with misogynist, lumberjack leg to flex their knee and rest their ankle on your leg.
marked flexion of the forefoot approximating the forefoot to the calcaneus so that T>70% reduced
navicular
in the big toe side, at the insertion of tibialis anterior
patient
patient prone, doc on ipsi side with misogynist, lumberjack leg to flex their knee and rest the DORSUM OF THEIR FOOT on the doc’s thigh, plantar flexion of subtalar joint, supination of the forefoot so that so that T>70% reduced
