1 ANKLE PLANTAR FLEXION Evaluation and Measurements By Isabelle Devreux 1

2 Ankle Plantar Flexion: Gastrocnemius and Soleus ROM: 0 to A. Soleus: Origin: Posterior of head of fibula and proximal1/3 of its body. Soleal line & middle 1/3 of medial border of tibia. Tendinous arch between tibia and fibula. Insertion: Posterior surface of the calcaneum (w/ gastrocnemius). Nerve: Tibial nerve: L5, S1, S2 Action: Plantar flexes the ankle joint. 2

3 Ankle Plantar Flexion: Gastrocnemius and Soleus B. Gastrocnemius: Origin: Medial Head: Proximal & posterior of part of medial condyle of femur. Capsule of knee joint. Lateral Head: Lateral condyle and post. surface of femur. Capsule of knee joint. Insertion: Middle part of posterior surface of the calcaneum Nerve: Tibial nerve: L5, S1, S2 Action: Plantar flexes the ankle joint + assists in flexion of the knee joint. 3

4 Ankle Plantar Flexion: C. Plantaris muscle: Origin: Distal part of lateral supracondylar line of the femur + popliteal surface. Oblique popliteal ligament of the knee joint. Insertion: Posterior part of calcaneum. Nerve: Tibial Nerve: L4,L5, S1 Action: Plantar flexes the ankle + assists in flexion of the knee joint. 4

5 Ankle Plantar Flexion: ROM: to 45 Limitation by: Tension of talofibular ligament. Tension of the dorsifexor ms. Contact of posterior portion of talus bone on the tibia. Accessory ms.: Tibialis posterior Peroneus longus Peroneus Brevis Flexor hallucis longus Flexor digitorum longus Forefoot & ankle joint plantar flexors Toe, forefoot & ankle joint plantar flexors 5

6 Ankle Plantar Flexion: Grade 3, 4, 5 Pt.: Standing on leg to be tested, knee straight. Therapist stands beside the patient. Grade 3:«Rise on your toes clearing your heel off the floor--- relax»(one time). Grade 4 & 5:»Same + repeat 4 to 5 times». Needs sufficient stabilization to the forefoot on the ground. Good = if patient has difficulty to complete the ROM or if he fatigues easily. Weight bearing Or Non Weight Bearing Tests 6

7 Ankle Plantar Flexion: Grade 3 Non Weight Bearing: Pt. is in prone with foot to be tested over end of the table. Ph.Th. stands beside foot. Proximal hand is placed on the L.L., proximal to the ankle to stabilize. «Pull the heel upward and push backwards with your toes---relax». 7

8 Ankle Plantar Flexion: Grade 4-5 Pt. Is in prone as in gr. 3. Therapist applies resistance: Proximal hand hods the sides of the heel. Distal hand is on plantar surface of the foot. Moderate ( gr. 4) and Maximal + hold ( gr. 5) push of resistance simultaneously at heel + forefoot through full ROM. 8

9 Ankle Plantar Flexion: Grade Pt. in sidelying position:with lateral border of the foot to be tested resting on the table. Therapist is beside the foot, proximal hand grasps the lower leg just above the ankle joint to stabilize it. «Push your foot down through full ROM.» Grade 1: Palpation of the contraction of the ms. fibers and on tendon above calcaneum. 9

10 Ankle Plantar Flexion: Effects of weakness: Hyperextension of the knee. Nonweightbearing position in standing. Gastrocnemius limp: inability to rise on toes and to transfer weight normally forward. Effects of contracture & shortness: Equinus position( ankle joint plantar flexed) of the foot and flexion of the knee. Muscle shortness: restriction of the ankle dorsiflex. when knee is extended & a restriction of the knee extension when the ankle is dorsiflexed. 10

11 Foot/ Ankle Deformities Talipes calcaneus: ankle joint dorsiflexed. Talipes equinus: ankle joint plantar flexed 11

12 Inversion & Eversion 12

13 Talipes Valgus: Foot/ Ankle Deformities Foot is everted and accompanied by flattening of the longitudinal arch. Talipes Varus: Foot is inverted & accompanied by an increase in the height of the longitudinal arch. 13

14 ANKLE DORSI FLEXION AND INVERSION Evaluation and Measurements By Isabelle Devreux 14

Proximal hand grasps around the ankle to stabilize the lower leg. «Pull your foot up and in; through full ROM ----relax». Grade 3: Full ROM. Grade 2: Partial ROM 17

18 Foot Dorsiflexion & Inversion: Tibialis Anterior - Testing Gr. 4 & 5 Pt. Position in sitting over the edge of the table. His heel is supported on the thigh of the therapist. Therapist : Proximal hand supports the lower leg above calcaneus, distal hand grasps the medial border if forefoot to give resistance. Resistance: pushing down the medial border of the foot. Pt. Should keep big toe flexed to avoid substitution by extensor hallucis longus. «Pull your foot up and in through full ROM.» 18

19 Foot Dorsiflexion & Inversion: Tibialis Anterior - Testing Gr. 1 & 0 Pt. In backlying, foot over the edge of the table. Therapist stands near the edge, distal hand supports the forefoot, the proximal hand palpates the tibialis anterior on its tendon on the medial volar aspect of ankle. «Try to pul your foot up and in----relax. 19

20 Foot Dorsiflexion & Inversion: Tibialis Anterior Effects of weakness: Decrease of the ability to dorsiflex the ankle and allows tendency towards the foot eversion. Substitution: The extensor Hallucis Longus which has the function of assisting the dorsiflex. + inversion may substitute to a weak tibialis anterior muscle. Pt should keep the toes relaxed. 20

21 Foot Inversion from Plantar Flexion 21

22 Foot Inversion from Plantar Flexion: Tibialis Posterior Origin: Most of interosseus membrane. Lat. posrtion of posterior surface of tibia. Prox. 2/3 of medial surface of fibula. Insertion: Tuberosity of navicular bone. By fibrous expansions to the sustentaculum tali of calcaneus three cuneiforms, cuboid and bases of 2 nd, 3rd, 4th metatarsal bones. Nerve: Tibial nerve ; L4, L5, S1. Action: Inverts the foot and assists in the plantar flexion of the ankle joint. 22

23 Foot Inversion from Plantar Flexion: Tibialis Posterior Accessory muscles: Flexor digitorum longus. Flexor Hallucis Longus. Gastrocnemius»medial head». Range of Motion: 35 But may be limited by: Tension of lateral tarsal ligaments. Tension of peroneal muscle group. Contact between tarsal bones medially. 23

32 Foot Eversion from plantar flexion: Peroneus longus & brevis:grade 4-5 Pt. Position as in gr.3. Therapist grasps the forefoot to give resistance. Moderate (or maximal for gr.5) resistance against plantar surface of first (or all) metatarsal head. Extensor digitorum longus should be relaxed. «Raise up the lateral border of the foot through full ROM. 32

33 Foot Eversion from plantar flexion: Peroneus longus & brevis:grade 2,1,0. Pt. In sidelying with affected foot plantar flexed and resting on its medial border. Therapist stands at the foot of the table and proximal hand stabilizes the L.L. For GR. 1: palpation on the peroneus brevis at the joint proximal to the 5th metatarsal bone on the lateral border of foot. For peroneus longus: palpation under the head of the 1st metatarsal bone. 33

34 Foot Eversion from plantar flexion: Peroneus longus & brevis: EFFECTS Effects of Weakness: strength of eversion of the foot and plantar flexion of the ankle joint. Allows a varus position of the foot. the ability to rise on the toes. Decreases lateral stability of the foot. Weakness of Peroneus longus / brevis: =Talipes Equino Varus 34
