To perform the Squeeze Test, you will need to have the patient lie down in a supine position and place their foot on your leg. You will then apply gentle pressure with both hands around the patient’s ankle, squeezing in a circular motion. If you feel any instability in the joint during the test, this may indicate a syndesmosis injury.
