Purpose[edit | edit source]
The purpose of a tip toe standing test is to differentiate between the two different categories of flatfoot (pes planus), namely flexible flatfoot and fixed flatfoot.[1]
This is an indirect, observational method of assessment.[1]
Technique[edit | edit source]
1. The patient stands on flat ground. This can be done at a wall or other place where external support can be used.
2. The patient is then asked to stand on tip toe.
Result[edit | edit source]
In a flexible flatfoot the heel will turn inwards (varus position) and the medial arch will become apparent.
In fixed flatfoot, the medial longitudinal arch will remain unobservable.[2]
To further test for a flexible flatfoot, the Hubscher maneuver (or Jack's test) can also be done.
