Fig. 9.1.3
 Examination of the ankle, hind-, and midfoot. A,B,C) The foot is observed from in front and behind in standing and on toe raising—note position and increased arch on tip-toe raise. D,E,F) Maximum foot and ankle dorsiflexion (D) and plantarflexion (E) are compared with the normal side (F) to measure isolated ankle dorsiflexion/plantarflexion, the subtalar and midtarsal joints are immobilized by the examiner’s hand. G,H) Inversion and eversion are measured whilst immobilizing midtarsal rotation. This measures subtalar movement and any abnormal ankle movement present. I,J) The hindfoot is immobilized by the examiner’s left hand while the forefoot is rotated to measure midfoot movement. K,L,M,N)(page 733) Pressure is exerted against the resistance of the examiner’s hand to test power of dorsiflexion (K), plantarflexion (L), inversion (M), and eversion (N).
