Peroneus longus:
Patient position:
Semi-lateral position on the contralateral side with the ankle in plantar flexion.
Instructions therapist and patient:
Immobilize the distal calf proximal to the ankle with one hand. At the same time, press with the other hand against the head of the first metatarsal to elevate it, invert the foot, and move the ankle into dorsiflexion. Instruct the patient to evert the foot and bring the head of the first metatarsal into plantar flexion. Make sure that the toe extensors are relaxed for this manoeuvre.
