The therapist places his hand on the dorsum of the foot with thumbs on the talus and fingers placed parallel to the floor. With the thumbs, the examiner palpates the anterior portion of the talus. The examiner then passively plantarflexes and dorsiflexes the foot and compares the quality and degree of movement between feet, especially dorsiflexion.
