Purpose
[edit | edit source]
To assess for achilles tendon rupture
Technique
[edit | edit source]
The patient lies prone with their legs straight and their heels placed just over the edge of the table. The examiner then squeezes the gastrocnemius-solues complex. When the achilles tendon is intact, the patient should plantar flex the foot upon squeezing the gastroc-soleus complex. If the patient does not plantar flex the foot upon squeezing, the test is positive for achilles tendon rupture.[1]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
Sensitivity= .96 -LR .04
Specificity= .93 +LR 13.7[2]
Resources[edit | edit source]
