Prone Ankle Assessment With the Dorsiflexion and Wiggle Tests

The four components of ankle dorsiflexion and two prone tests for the stiff ankle after old sprains: the prone dorsiflexion test for talocrural motion and the wiggle test for tibial rotation.

Subtalar, Midfoot and Knee-to-Wall Tests for the Stiff Ankle

How to assess subtalar joint mobility with calcaneal rocks, midfoot mobility with the table torsion test, and how to run the knee-to-wall test in half kneeling for a cleaner, more objective measure.

Manual Therapy for the Talocrural, Subtalar and Midfoot Joints

Manual therapy techniques for each component of a stiff ankle: talocrural posterior glides, subtalar mobilizations, midfoot and tibial internal rotation mobilizations, and closed chain mobilization in a loaded position.

Home Exercises for Tibial Rotation, Ankle Mobility and Eversion

Home exercises that keep the gains from manual therapy for a stiff ankle: tibial internal rotation drills, a banded talocrural self-mobilization, peroneal strengthening done well, and a subtalar control drill.
