through techniques such as talocrural joint traction, where the therapist applies a caudal (away from the head) force to slightly pull the foot from the lower limb in order to create more joint space while gently gliding the foot into dorsiflexion ...
Common findings in CMT are loss of the muscle stretch reflexes (especially the ankle jerks), and weakness with lifting the feet (ankle dorsiflexion) and bringing the thumb upwards (thumb abduction).
The ankle is a "hinged" joint capable of moving the foot in two primary directions: away from the body (plantar flexion) and toward the body (dorsiflexion). It is formed by the meeting of three bones.
This disorder is described as rhythmic extension of the great toe, associated with dorsiflexion (upward movement) of the ankle and light flexion (bending) of the knee and hip.
Foot drop is a condition in which normal dorsiflexion, the bending of the ankle and toes upwards, is not possible, leading to a characteristic labored gait called steppage gait. Foot drop is treated by addressing the underlying condition.
Lesions of the deep peroneal nerve are associated with PARALYSIS of dorsiflexion of the ankle and toes and loss of sensation from the web space between the first and second toe.
