Study Notes

Palpation and Treatment Procedures for Ankle and Lower Leg Structures

The tibialis anterior muscle assists in slowing foot and ankle pronation during the initial phases of gait.
The tibialis anterior muscle palpation procedure involves finding the muscle belly located at the upper two thirds of the tibia and following its course to its tendinous aspect.
The extensor digitorum longus muscle extends the second through fifth toes and assists with ankle dorsiflexion and foot eversion.
The extensor digitorum longus muscle palpation procedure involves sliding laterally off of the tibialis anterior onto the muscle belly of the extensor digitorum longus and palpating while the patient extends the lesser toes.
The anterior talofibular ligament stabilizes against ankle inversion and prevents anterior luxation of the talus when in a plantarflexed position.
The anterior talofibular ligament palpation procedure involves moving anteriorly off the anterior portion of the lateral malleolus toward the neck of the talus.
The deltoid ligament is composed of four ligaments that fan distally from the medial malleolus and stabilizes against hindfoot eversion.
The deltoid ligament palpation procedure involves strumming across the thickening of the tibiocalcaneal ligament and determining the location of any tender points or fasciculatory response.
The tibialis posterior muscle helps to stabilize the arch during ambulation.
The tibialis posterior muscle palpation procedure involves tracing the tendon just medial to the medial malleolus upward along the shaft of the tibia and rolling the fingers upward against the posterior lateral shaft of the tibia.
PRT clinician procedures for these structures involve various movements and compressions to produce joint glides and fine-tune internal and external rotation.
Patient self-treatment procedures involve externally rotating the ankle and compressing it toward the knee by pushing upward against the calcaneus until the fasciculation has subsided or abated.Positional Release Therapy for Ankle and Lower Leg Structures
Positional Release Therapy (PRT) is a manual therapy technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
PRT involves finding tender points or fasciculations in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the ankle and lower leg, and then using gentle positioning and compression to release tension and promote healing.
PRT can be performed by a clinician or by the patient themselves as a self-treatment procedure.
The ankle and lower leg have several structures that can benefit from PRT, including the tibialis posterior muscle and tendon, the Achilles tendon, the soleus muscle, the gastrocnemius muscle, and the calcaneofibular ligament.
For each structure, there are specific palpation and treatment procedures that involve positioning the affected area in a certain way and applying gentle compression or rotation.
PRT can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinopathy.
PRT is generally safe and well-tolerated, but should only be performed by trained professionals or under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
PRT can be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physical therapy and medication, to improve outcomes for patients.
PRT is a non-invasive and cost-effective alternative to more invasive treatments like surgery.
PRT has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
PRT is gaining popularity as a complementary therapy in sports medicine and rehabilitation settings.
PRT is a promising technique for treating ankle and lower leg pain and dysfunction, and further research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and limitations.Positional Release Therapy Procedure for Ankle and Lower Leg Lateral Structures
Peroneal muscles are commonly strained with inversion ankle sprains
Peroneus brevis muscle is deep to the peroneus longus muscle fibers
Popliteus muscle originates from the fibular head and upper two thirds of the fibular shaft
Peroneus longus muscle insertion is at the lateral plantar base of the first metatarsal and first cuneiform
The longus muscle assists in foot eversion and ankle plantar flexion, as well as supporting the arches
The peroneus brevis muscle is innervated by L5-S1 via the superficial peroneal nerve
Palpation procedure involves locating the fibular head and strumming across the peroneus longus muscle belly
During palpation, the patient is asked to evert the foot to accentuate the muscle location
The peroneus brevis muscle is palpated by sliding fingers off either side of the tendon onto the muscle belly and repeating the strumming procedure
The most dominant tender point or fasciculation is maintained with light pressure throughout the PRT treatment procedure
PRT clinician procedure involves the patient being prone with the knee flexed and ankle moved through its range of motion
PRT clinician applies marked ankle eversion, coupled with heavy calcaneal compression and external tibial rotation, and forefoot eversion for fine-tuning.

Positional Release Therapy for Ankle and Lower Leg: Anterior and Medial Structures

The tibialis anterior muscle assists in slowing foot and ankle pronation during the initial phases of gait.
The extensor digitorum longus muscle extends the second through fifth toes and assists with ankle dorsiflexion and foot eversion.
The anterior talofibular ligament is the weakest and one of the most commonly torn lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle.
The deltoid ligament is composed of four ligaments that fan distally from the medial malleolus to their respective insertion sites.
The tibialis posterior muscle helps to stabilize the arch during ambulation.
The palpation procedure for the tibialis anterior muscle involves finding its belly at the upper two thirds of the tibia and tracing its tendon medially across the ankle joint.
The palpation procedure for the extensor digitorum longus muscle involves locating it between the tibialis anterior and peroneal muscles and having the patient extend the lesser toes against resistance.
The palpation procedure for the anterior talofibular ligament involves moving anteriorly off the anterior portion of the lateral malleolus toward the neck of the talus.
The palpation procedure for the deltoid ligament involves strumming across the thickening of the tibiocalcaneal ligament and determining the location of any tender points or fasciculatory response of the ligament and its origin and attachment.
The deep palpation procedure for the tibialis posterior muscle and tendon involves tracing the tendon just medial to the medial malleolus upward along the shaft of the tibia and rolling the fingers upward against the posterior lateral shaft of the tibia to apply indirect pressure to the posterior tibialis musculature.
PRT clinician procedures for these structures involve various combinations of ankle movements and compressions to produce joint glides and affect corollary tissues.
Patient self-treatment procedures involve grasping the heel and moving the ankle and foot into specific positions while feeling for the most relaxed tissue position and also the presence of a fasciculation, followed by external rotation of the ankle and compression toward the knee by pushing upward against the calcaneus until the fasciculation has subsided or abated.Positional Release Therapy for Ankle and Lower Leg Structures
Positional Release Therapy (PRT) is a technique used to alleviate pain and tension in specific muscles and ligaments in the ankle and lower leg.
PRT involves the use of gentle pressure and positioning to achieve a relaxed state in the targeted tissue.
PRT is effective for treating medial and posterior structures in the ankle and lower leg, including the tibialis posterior muscle and tendon, Achilles tendon, soleus muscle, and gastrocnemius muscle.
PRT can be performed by a clinician or self-administered by the patient.
For medial structures, the clinician or patient can use the calcaneus as a fulcrum and move the lower leg and ankle into marked internal rotation and plantar flexion with the far hand.
For posterior structures, the clinician or patient can palpate the Achilles tendon and slide the fingers off its borders to locate the lower portions of the soleus muscle.
Gastrocnemius muscle can be isolated from the soleus muscle by having the patient plantar flex the ankle while the knee is flexed.
The calcaneofibular ligament, which limits ankle inversion, can also be targeted with PRT.
PRT can be performed by placing the involved side on the opposite thigh and moving the ankle into maximal plantar flexion and inversion while feeling for the most relaxed tissue position and fasciculation.
Once the most relaxed position or strong fasciculation is found, inversion and internal rotation of the ankle can be applied, followed by cephalad calcaneal compression toward the knee.
PRT can be used to treat a variety of conditions, such as ankle sprains, tendinitis, and muscle strains.
PRT is a non-invasive technique that can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other therapies.Positional Release Therapy Procedure for Peroneus Longus and Brevis Muscles
Peroneal muscles are commonly strained with ankle sprains and can produce avulsion fractures.
The brevis muscle is deep to the longus and can be felt on either side of the longus tendon at the lower third of the ankle.
The peroneus longus muscle assists with foot eversion, ankle plantar flexion, and supports the longitudinal and transverse arches.
The palpation procedure involves locating the fibular head and strumming across the peroneus longus muscle belly to its tendinous aspect, then sliding fingers off either side of the tendon onto the muscle belly of the brevis and repeating the strumming procedure.
Tender points or fasciculatory response of the muscles and their tendons and attachment sites should be noted for PRT treatment.
The PRT clinician procedure involves the patient being prone with the knee flexed to 90° and the shin supported, moving the ankle through its range of motion to find the optimal treatment position.
The clinician applies marked ankle eversion coupled with heavy calcaneal compression, external tibial rotation, and forefoot eversion for fine-tuning.
Corollary tissues treated include peroneal tendons, peroneus tertius, and extensor digitorum brevis.
