Learn how to confidently perform a full Ankle Examination in your PLAB 2 or OSCE with this step-by-step tutorial from Aspire Academy.

In this video, we guide you through:

LOOK (Inspection)
• Assess anatomical position and joint symmetry
• Visual inspection of the ankle
• Observe the patient’s gait

FEEL (Palpation)
• Check temperature and tenderness
• Squeeze across the metatarsophalangeal joint
• Palpate key landmarks – tarsal bones, calcaneum, medial & lateral malleolus

MOVE (Range of Motion)
• Test plantar flexion and dorsiflexion
• Assess toe flexion and extension
• Evaluate inversion and eversion

• Thompson Test – Assess Achilles tendon rupture (squeeze calf and observe for plantarflexion response)

💡 We also emphasize patient consent, communication, and privacy – essential for clinical excellence and OSCE success.

👉 Whether you're preparing for PLAB 2, medical school exams, or general clinical practice, this video provides a comprehensive approach to ankle joint assessment.
