I REALLY like how you showed the laxities when you were talking about how the test can be positive. I am more of a visual learner, so seeing the actual abnormalities is very useful! Thank you!

3 years into PT school, still watching your videos regularly. They are perfect.

I use my index finger of the fixating hand to palpate the talocrural jointline. I feel this makes it easier to test for anterior glide of the talocrural joint.

How rest? Anterior tibiofibular ligament is thickened-chronic sprain. Recovery time???? Plz reply?

I might have missed it but does the article say anything about when the acute situation becomes a chronic laxity? Is it only based on the average time that connective tissue needs to heal or also on other things?

hello, just i have 2 question:
why you flex the knee during performing the test ?
why you perform the test in 10 to 15 degree of plantar flexion ?

[HafizahHoshni]

[khushbuhathiwala]

can you tell me why did you plantarflex the ankle and flex the knee?

These videos really are very helpful, but they are also aesthetically appealing. His foot is extraordinarily beautiful: long and muscular, ideal for sculpture modeling! His long, slender toes almost look like fingers! Wow. I would go as far as saying that he has the most beautiful feet I've encountered online.

heard a loud pop in shoulder blade area. Any idea what this may be ?

[poojashah]

You mentioned ADT is good in acute stage but not in chronic. You know which test to use in chronic ?

[ziggyMcgee]

If the ligaments are stretched or torn does that make the peroneal tendons loose? And is that an issue?

[arthurmxjourny]

How does ATFL rupture affect motor strength when testing for inversion, eversion etc? Is there a specific gait pattern noted with this?

[shaiknaseem]

Why should we have to mantain ankle in 15° plantarflexion ?
