Method

This test is done with the customer sitting with the foot suspended.

  1. Ask the customer to stand in a relaxed weight bearing position.
  2. Place your hand on top of the foot as if you are trying to “shake hands” with it (see diagram right). Your thumb should be on the inside of the foot in front of the ankle.
  3. From this position try to turn the foot outwards. Note: Make sure the customer does not try to help you by rolling their foot out.
  4. Estimate how much effort is required. Does it tilt easily or is there a lot of resistance? Select Easy, Moderate or Hard (for each foot)
