Test Hip Strength & Imbalances - • Leg Muscle Weakness? (...
In many sciatica patients or after leg and ankle injuries, it is common to see weakness within the foot and ankle. This can be particularly true if you have compression to the nerves that go into the legs and this can even be a sign of a drop foot and/or an immediate medical referral. Assuming all is well but you need to strengthen the leg, foot, and ankle, you would want to know how strong they are and which side is weaker. You can do this by doing a split stance calf raise to test the plantar flexor muscles as well as testing foot dorsiflexion. In addition, it is a good idea to take measurements of the muscles to see if they are symmetrical. By testing both sides, you will have an accurate measurement of strength within the legs and you can determine what needs to be strengthened or improved.
