Flexion of proximal  INTERPHALANGEAL  Joints Of Lateral 4 Toes  Flexion Digitorum brevis               Backlying, ankle in mid-position between plantar and dorsi-flexion. Stabilize proximal row of phalanges of lateral 4 Toes. Patient flexes toes. Resistance is given beneath middle row of phalanges of lateral 4 toes for normal and good.                                 FACTORS LIMITING MOTION.                             1.Tension of extensor muscles tendons/dorsal ligaments of toes.             2.

  (Normal and Good) for Gastrocnemius and Soleus.                                Standing on limb to be tested, knee straight. For Normal grade, patient raises heel from floor through range of motion of plantar flexion. Patient should complete motion four or five times in good form and without apparent fatigue. The Tibialis posterior and the peroneus longus and brevis muscles must be normal or good to stabilize the forefoot and provide counter pressure against the floor. A good grade is given if patient can complete full range of motion two or three times and then has difficulty in completing the movement.

  FOOT INVERSION                 Normal and Good                  Sidelying, ankle in mid-position between plantar and dorsiflexion. Stabilize leg. Avoid pressure over Tibialis posterior muscle. Patient inverts foot through range of motion. Resistance is given on medial border of    forefoot. Flexors of the toes should remain relaxed to prevent substitution by the Flexor digitorum longus and Flexor hallucis longus.        Note : Inversion combines supination, adduction and plantar flexion.   FOOT EVERSION                  Normal and Good                 Sidelying, ankle in mid-position between plantar and dorsiflexion. Stab...

            Backlying, ankle in midposition between plantar and dorsiflexion. Stabilize metatarsals. Patients flexes lateral 4 toes at the Metatarsophalangeal joints, keeping interphalangeal joints extended.  Resistance is given on the plantar surface of the proximal row of phalanges for grades of Normal and Good . Extension of the middle and distal interphalangeal joints with the metacarpophalangeal joints in flexion should be tested concurrently. Extension of  these joints is part of the primary action of the Lumbricales as in the hand. Resistance also should be given to each toe separately as Lumbricales are uneven in strength and have divided innervation. Range of motion is completed for a Fair grade a partial range for poor.
