Additionally, it was found while researching this topic that two clinical tests for plantar heel pain, the dorsiflexion-eversion test for tarsal tunnel syndrome and the
Windlass test for plantar fasciitis ("passive extension of the first MTP joint or all MTP joints with the ankle in neutral {90 degrees}" (12)), "seem unable to differentiate between conditions that lead to plantar heel pain." (12) Although the dorsiflexion-ever sion test may not be specific to tarsal tunnel syndrome, if performed it may have provided further support for the diagnosis.
