In a patient with a ruptured Achilles tendon, the foot will not move. That is called a positive Thompson test. The Thompson test is important because some people who tear their Achilles are still able to point their toes downwards, although the Thompson test would still be positive.
The mechanism of injury is very similar to that of an Achilles tendon rupture, which must be ruled out in the diagnosis. Calf tears often occur while performing actions that require forceful shortening (contraction) or sudden lengthening of the calf muscle (ex: basketball, hill running, tennis, âmissing a stepâ, etc.).s a calf muscle tear can mimic an Achilles tendon rupture, a careful physical exam is essential to differentiate between these two injuries. One important physical exam component is called the Thompson Squeeze Test. This test involves a gentle squeeze of the calf muscle.
