Hello.

I am Podiatry student who really want to know about lunge test for 'Ankle Equinus'. Can I ask my quesions to this forum?
There are two tests for ankle equinus; non-weight bearing Silfverskiold test and weight-bearing lunge test.
With Silfverskiold test, we may differentiate/isolate the structures;
(1) if improved ankle joint dorsiflexion with knee flexed, gastrocnemius equinus,
(2) if equivalant ankle joint dorsiflexion with knee flexion/extension, achilles equinus
My quesion is this. Likewise Silfverskiold test, the same principle/hypothesis apply to lunge test?
Thus, may gastrocnemius/soleus tightness and/or bony block/impingement limit the ankle dorsiflexion at weight-bearing lunge with knee flexion & extension?
If yes, how can we differentiate/isolate the structures at lunge test? Is the same as Silfverskiold test?
I did some research, but I couldn't find the answer to my questions, thus I asked them to the experienced professionals in this forum.
Thanks
Regards;
