Examination of the Foot and Ankle
Cambridge University Press eBooks(2022)
Abstract
Foot and ankle examination begins with the patient standing. Then ask the patient to walk, observing the gait and the three rockers. If the diagnosis is pes planus or pes cavus, the relevant tests can be done at this point of the examination, a single leg tiptoe test or the Coleman block test, respectively. Inspection is then completed by asking the patient to sit and inspect the sole of the foot, between the toes and the shoes. Movements are performed in the joints from proximal to distal or distal to proximal, depending on the underlying pathology.
