Foot & Ankle Exam ● Gait – Guarded, antalgic, steppage, waddling, NWB, PWB ● Skin – Temp, tropic changes, nails, ulcer, keratosis, hair growth ● Vascular – DP, PT, cap refil, edema, varicosities ● MSK – Ext/Flex/Eve/Inv, DTR, ROM, MS ● Neuro – Protective Sensation (Vib, monofiliment), DTR
Foot & Ankle Exam Normal Gait. Neurovascular status grossly intact. Protective Sensation intact. Dry Supple skin. There is no sign of infection. There is no edema. There is no erythema. There is no ecchymosis. There is no bony point tenderness. Rectus foot type. ROM of ankle is 20° df and 45° pf. STJ ROM is 30° inversion and 20° eversion. ROM of 1 st MTPJ is 70° df and 25° pf. MS is 5/5. There is no proximal tenderness. The calf is supple and nontender. There is no anterior draw. Radiographs 3 views weightbearing of the ankle show no acute fracture or degenerative changes.
