Muscles Involved:[edit | edit source]
Patient Positioning[edit | edit source]
- Side lying with 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
- Palpation over tibialis posterior
- Other hand resistance over dorsum & medial foot
To Test[edit | edit source]
- Patient actively inverts
- Grades 4 and 5: Therapist provides resistance towards eversion + 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 (break testing) against maximum resistance.
