Document Summary
Kin 361 lab # 2 the ankle. To learn and practice the on-field examination of the acute ankle injury. To learn the modified gibney prophylactic tape job. Examination of the ankle (secondary survey) (1 4 wont be on lab exam. Discoloration: palpation start with subtle pressure and move towards more intense pressure. Always start from extremities, working toward injured area: evaluation of function. Passive rom, get athlete to completely relax and move their foot into plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, eversion. Resisted rom (isometric) providing resistance against the position you want them to go into. Didn"t test ligament cause there is no movement. Dorsiflexion, hold toes to inhibit ability to move toes toward head: stress tests (do compression tests before you take off the boot!) Fibular compression- take your four fingers, and providing compression along the fibula. Malleolar compression- take your pointer finger and thumb, and apply light pressure on both malleoli.
