00:00:03.179 --> 00:00:08.001
In a prone position, Achilles tendon stability
can be assessed using Thompson's test.

00:00:08.001 --> 00:00:12.009
Flex the knee to ninety degrees, squeeze the
calf, and observe for plantarflexion of the

00:00:12.009 --> 00:00:13.309
foot.

00:00:13.309 --> 99:59:59.999
Absence of plantarflexion indicates Achilles
tendon rupture.
