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.<ref>Konin JG, Wiksten DL, Isear JA, Brader H.

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]
