The test is used To examine the ankle for injury
Basically it assesses the lateral ligaments of the ankle in three different positions.
This way, the ....anterior talofibular ligament, ....the calcaneofibular ligament as ....well as the posterior talofibular ligament can be assessed.
Technique of the test
First of all...Position the patient seated or lying on an examination table, with the leg to be tested hanging over the edge of the table.
Place one hand on the lower leg just above the ankle to stabilize the tibia.
Grasp the heel with the other hand and tilt the foot and ankle inward, or into inversion.
Apply a firm, yet gentle, pressure to the medial aspect of the foot to tilt the talus bone laterally.
Observe the degree of movement of the talus bone.
Compare the degree of movement on the affected ankle to the unaffected ankle, if possible.
If there is excessive lateral movement of the talus bone or pain is reproduced, it is considered a positive test for instability.
