Posterior tibial muscle strength test

The posterior tibial muscle strength test is a method to check whether the muscle is paralyzed and the degree of paralysis. The main function of the posterior tibial muscle is to invert the foot and assist in plantar flexion of the foot. When the muscle is paralyzed, adduction and lifting of the inner edge of the foot and plantar flexion are restricted.
