B. Abductor Hallucis, Lumbricals, Interossei
C. Peroneus Longus, Extensor Digitorum Longus
D. Peronues Brevis, Peroneus Longus, Peroneus Tertius

6. The normal range of motion for dorsiflexion of the ankle is:
A. 5 Degrees
B. 10 Degrees
C. 15 Degrees
D. 20 Degrees

7. Which of the following would be a specific functional test for dorsiflexion?
A. Walk on Heels
B. Walk on Toes
C. Walk on the Borders of the Feet
D. Jumping

8. Athletes who have pronated or hypermobile feet have a higher incidence of:
A. Achilles Tendon Strains
B. Lateral Ankle Sprains
C. Eversion Ankle Sprains
D. Fallen Metatarsal Arch

9. It has been suggested that early in the rehabilitation process for the ankle that joint mobilizations should be directed toward which range(s) of motion?
A. Dorsiflexion and Planterflexion
B. Inversion and Eversion
C. Medial and Anterior Gliding
D. Lateral and Posterior Gliding

10. When squeezing the calf muscle with the leg extended and the foot hanging over the edge of the table, you are performing which test for Achilles tendon rupture?
A. Apley Squeeze Test
B. Babinski Test
C. Compression Test
D. Thompson Test

11. When a fracture of the lower leg is suspected, what test can be done to reaffirm your suspicions?
A. Range-of-Motion Test
B. Percussion Test
C. Auscultation Test
D. Cutaneous Sensation Test

12. A positive talar tilt test with the calcaneous inverted, indicates damage to which ligament?
A. Posterior Tibiofibular
B. Deltoid
C. Calcaneofibular
D. Anterior Tibiofibular

13. A positive anterior drawer test indicates damage to which ligament?
A. Anterior Talofibular
B. Anterior Tibiofibular
C. Calcaneofibular
D. Posterior Talofibular

14. TRUE/ FALSE
When testing joint stability using an anterior drawer test, one must have the patient relax and compare bilaterally.

15. Thompson

16. Homan’s

17. Anterior Drawer

18. Inversion Talar Tilt

19. Eversion Talar Tilt

20. Of the two bones of the leg, the tibia supports more of the weight.

21. The distal end of the tibia becomes enlarged, rounded, and projecting as it approaches the ankle, thus forming the lateral malleolus.

22. Because the talus is wider posteriorly than anteriorly, the most stable position of the ankle is with the foot in plantarflexion.

23. BONUS
Normal range of motion for an ankle is 10 degrees of dorsiflexion and 50 degrees of plantarflexion.

24. A tight heel cord forces the foot into eversion, making it more susceptible to a lateral ankle sprain.

25. Achilles tendon strains occur most often as a result of an ankle sprains or sudden excessive dorsiflexion of the ankle.

26. An Achilles tendon rupture usually occurs 2 to 6 cm proximal to its insertion onto the calcaneous.

27. Athletes who have biomechanical foot problems are more prone to stress fractures of the lower leg.

28. Tape that constricts soft tissue can cause serious injury by disrupting the biomechanics of the foot.

29. When testing joint stability using an anterior drawer test, one must have the patient relax and compare bilaterally.
