One special test for Achilles tendon is the Thompson test. In this test, the patient lies prone and the examiner squeezes the calf muscle. If the Achilles tendon is intact, the foot will plantar flex; if there is an Achilles tendon rupture, the foot will not move. This test helps to determine the presence or absence of an Achilles tendon injury.
