The anterior drawer test has limited diagnostic ability for chronic ankle laxity but performs well in an acute situation to diagnose ruptures of the anterior talofibular ligament commonly injured after ankle inversion trauma

I REALLY like how you showed the laxities when you were talking about how the test can be positive. I am more of a visual learner, so seeing the actual abnormalities is very useful! Thank you!

3 years into PT school, still watching your videos regularly. They are perfect.
Thank you for providing scholarly articles! It helped with my research on ankle instability!🙏🏼
You guys are saving my life with all these special tests :). I have a special test quiz tomorrow and these videos are such a huge help! Thank you!
Excellent work guys,keep it up!
Amazing explanation 😀

You mentioned ADT is good in acute stage but not in chronic. You know which test to use in chronic ?
Amazing vedio
youd video is so fabulous.my all batchmates seeing your videos during viva practical its soo helpful
nice
So much better to see it in motion versus reading it in a text

If the ligaments are stretched or torn does that make the peroneal tendons loose? And is that an issue?

How to heal this?
I might have missed it but does the article say anything about when the acute situation becomes a chronic laxity? Is it only based on the average time that connective tissue needs to heal or also on other things?

The article doesn't say anything about that, but have a look at this: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3113/FAI.2007.0343
can you tell me why did you plantarflex the ankle and flex the knee?
How rest? Anterior tibiofibular ligament is thickened-chronic sprain. Recovery time???? Plz reply?
Hello @Physiotutors I didnt manage to understand the last part where u mentioned about subtle detection of ankle instability from the cadaver study. So how would ankle instability be detected with inversion of intact deltoid ligament? What should the therapist be feeling for?

Anterior translation is increased in case the anterior talofibular ligament is ruptured
Atfl chronic sprain recovary time?
How does ATFL rupture affect motor strength when testing for inversion, eversion etc? Is there a specific gait pattern noted with this?
@Physiotutors

Pain always reduces motor output. Inversion will be painful at end-range. Like with every injury our body tries to protect the painful body part by making it stiff. So you will most likely see reduced dorsi and plantarflexion during gait.
I use my index finger of the fixating hand to palpate the talocrural jointline. I feel this makes it easier to test for anterior glide of the talocrural joint.

hello, just i have 2 question: why you flex the knee during performing the test ? why you perform the test in 10 to 15 degree of plantar flexion ?
@Physiotutors
5 жыл бұрын
The knee is flexed in the second position to place the foot on the table. 10 - 15° of plantar flexion is the maximally loose packed position (the position with the least capsular tension): allows for maximal translation

Hi, I have ATFL and CFL rupture. Now ultrasound indicates CFL has recovered, but ATFL is still torn. My doc gave me the drawer test and it turned out it is quite stable. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

That's good news. Focus should be on function anyways. There are quite a lot of people with high degrees of mechanical instability, but who have good function depite
is this more reliable than the prone version?
@Physiotutors
6 жыл бұрын
Don't know the prone version, but we'd have to have studies investigating the reliability of both versions to really be able to tell!
Why should we have to mantain ankle in 15° plantarflexion ?

its the MLPP (maximally lose packed position) of the Talocrural joint. 10-15° plantarflexion
God willing i will have ortho exam after two days i wish i well done this exam ✌🏻 thank u so much allah bless u

Is this planter flexion or Dorsi ?!

These videos really are very helpful, but they are also aesthetically appealing. His foot is extraordinarily beautiful: long and muscular, ideal for sculpture modeling! His long, slender toes almost look like fingers! Wow. I would go as far as saying that he has the most beautiful feet I've encountered online.

@@Physiotutors Poor grammar notwithstanding, huh? I don't recall the ADT, for either ankle or knee, as being a German or Dutch test. I always assumed US or British (for no good reason). But as I've said, we don't "drawer" something towards us. We draw it towards us: it is drawn. Thus, one is correct English and the other is not.

Terry, do you have any medical background or knowledge? The actual name of the test is "Anterior Drawer Test" not anterior draw test. He is saying it correctly.
