You are here:
Used to test the strength of the anterior talofibular ligament
Performed by holding the patient’s foot behind the heel (calcaneus) and with the other hand applying a posterior force through the tibia
Test is considered to be positive if pain is reproduced or foot moves anterior
Always compare both sides by testing the non-injured ankle first.
