Muscles Involved:[edit | edit source]
Patient Positioning[edit | edit source]
side lying
test-side ankle off the edge of the plinth For grades 0 to 2 patient can be supine or short sitting ('gravity minimal' position)
Therapist Position[edit | edit source]
Sit on stool/chair in front of patient
- One hand palpate over peroneal tendons
- For grades 4 and 5: provide resistance over dorsum + lateral foot
To Test[edit | edit source]
- Patient actively everts
- For grades 4 and 5: therapist to give resistance towards inversion & slight dorsiflexion [1]
- To satisfy grade 5 'normal muscle' performance criteria, the patient must have the ability to move through complete range of motion (active resistance testing) '''OR''' maintain an end point range against maximum resistance (break testing).
