Talar Tilt Test

The Talar Tilt Test is a simple physical examination used by healthcare professionals to assess ankle stability, particularly after an injury. During the test, the doctor gently tilts the foot inward while stabilizing the ankle. This helps determine if the ligaments on the outside of the ankle are damaged. A significant amount of tilting indicates a potential injury, such as a sprain. This test is valuable for diagnosing conditions related to ankle instability and guiding treatment decisions. Ultimately, it helps ensure that the ankle can recover properly and function effectively.
