Purpose of the test[edit | edit source]
The Windlass test is designed to detect presence of plantar fasciitis.
Positive test: A positive test is defined as reproduction of pain at the medical calcaneal tubercle.
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]

Performance of the test[edit | edit source]
Non-weight bearing: With the patient sitting, the clinician performs forceful great toe extension while stabilizing the ankle.
Weight bearing: With the patient in a weight bearing position, the clinician performs forceful great toe extension.
Diagnostic properties[edit | edit source]
Non-weight bearing:
Sensitivity: 0.18
Specificity: 0.99
Positive likelihood ratio: 16.21
Negative likelihood ratio: 0.82
Weight bearing:
Sensitivity: 0.33
Specificity: 0.99
Positive Likelihood Ratio: 28.70
Negative Likelihood Ratio: 0.68
Key Research[edit | edit source]
