Tarsal Tunnel Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel on the medial side of the ankle. This tunnel is bordered by the flexor retinaculum, the calcaneus, and the medial malleolus, with several structures—including the posterior tibial tendon, flexor digitorum longus, and flexor hallucis longus—running alongside the nerve. When the nerve becomes irritated or compressed within this space, it can produce symptoms such as

TRIPLE COMPRESSION STRESS TEST FOR TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve or its branches which can become entrapped in the tarsal tunnel under the deep fascia , flexor retinaculum and within the abductor hallucis muscle. According to Abuelela in the year 2012 the Triple Compression Stress Test has a sensitivity of 85.9% and a specificity of 100%. For this reason it seems that this test has a high clinical value to confirm and to e
