Soft Tissue Vs. Joint Restriction Test

1. Do this test without shoes. You'll be looking at one ankle at a time.

2. Step onto an elevated surface and place your foot onto the step keeping the ball of the foot in contact with the step and toes straight forward.

3. Place all your weight into the ankle being tested, and with a straight knee drive your heel down towards the ground while the toes stay in contact with the step.

4. You can move your body forward slightly to accentuate the stretched position of the ankle.

5. When you can no longer increase ankle range of motion, hold this position for 5-10 seconds and assess the feel of the limitation: either a stretching sensation through the back of the leg (Achilles region) or a block at the front of the ankle.

6. Test the same ankle now with a slightly bent knee position. Again, assess for a stretch through the back of the lower leg, or a block at the front.

An ankle (or any other articulating joint for that matter) can either be restricted via soft-tissue tone and tightness, or through a joint restriction. If a stretch is achieved through the backside of the lower leg in both positions, you are most likely dealing with a soft-tissue restriction. – Dr. John Rusin
