Morton's Syndrome Assessment
Morton's neuroma can be assessed using a very simple test, as shown in the video above.
The therapist will squeeze the heads of the metatarsals together to compress the nerve inbetween them. They may also squeeze with their finger and thumb on the top and sole of the foot as shown.
Other things to look at whilst assessing a suspected case of morton's neuroma include:
- Overpronation at the foot.
- Ankle range of motion - especially dorsiflexion as this suggests tight calf muscles which may contribute to overpronation.
