In this video, I'm going to show you how to do the Talar Tilt test to assess the integrity of the anterior and posterior talofibular ligament, the calcaneofibular ligament, as well as the deltoid ligaments. Hi and welcome back to Physiotutors. According to Hertel et al. in the year 99, the Talar Tilt test has a sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 88% in the diagnosis of lateral ankle sprains. To do the test, have your patient sitting with his knee hanging off of the table. In order to test the anterior talofibular ligament (aTFL), bring your patient's foot into plantar flexion so that the aTFL is perpendicular to the movement that you are going to perform. Then grab the calcaneus and perform inversion. In order to test the calcaneofibular ligament, bring your patient's foot into the anatomical position, so that the ligament is perpendicular to the long axis of the talus. Then bring the foot into inversion and eversion. The eversion part of this test stresses the deltoid ligament complex on the medial side. And lastly, to put the most stress on the posterior talofibular ligament, bring the foot into maximal dorsiflexion and perform the same movement again. This test in different positions is considered positive if your patient complains about pain or if you find excessive gapping compared with the unaffected side. Okay, this was our video on the talar tilt test. In order to complete your assessment of lateral ankle sprains, make sure to also watch the Anterior Drawer Test or check out our ankle assessment playlist. As always, I hope this video was helpful to you. If it was, we would be happy if you give it a like or subscribe to our channel and check us out on physiotutors.com, Instagram or Facebook.
