Physical examination shows him to have a normal abdominal examination. Good pulses. Range of motion of the hip and knee is normal. Range of motion of the ankle is limited. He barely gets to neutral. He cannot go significantly past neutral.
Diagnosed with peroneal palsy.
I agree with TxCzech....more than likely it is equinus..sm - radmt

I googled equinus contracture and it pulled up a page regarding "Equinus contracture of ankle". Since the dr. stated that the range of motion of the ankle is limited, I am almost positive he is saying equinus. Hope this helps!
