The Thompson test is a physical examination technique used to assess the integrity of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It involves squeezing the calf muscles while the patient is lying face down, and if the foot does not move or point downward in response, it suggests a possible Achilles tendon rupture. #achillesrupture #gymlife #gyminjury #orthopedics #doctor #medical #healthcare #nurses #doctors | Dr. Joe, MD
