Following in His Footsteps

Growing up, I watched my father, Bob De Coninck, lead the international teaching team of Dr. James Cyriax with passion, precision, and a deep commitment to clinical excellence. He wasn’t just teaching orthopaedic medicine — he was shaping a generation of clinicians to think critically, assess thoroughly, and treat with confidence.

His dedication left a lasting impression on me. Not just as a clinician, but as his child, I saw how much care and integrity he brought to every lecture, every case, every decision. He inspired me not only to learn the Cyriax method, but to live it — to pursue clarity in diagnosis, and to value structured, evidence-informed reasoning.

Today, as I walk this same path, I do so with deep respect for his legacy and with the motivation to carry forward the principles he so strongly believed in. This journey is not just professional — it’s personal.

The Importance of Correctly Interpreting Resisted Tests in Orthopaedic Medicine

Resisted tests are a cornerstone of the functional examination in orthopaedic medicine, especially within the Cyriax approach. When applied correctly, they help differentiate between contractile lesions (muscles and tendons) and non-contractile or inert structures (ligaments, joint capsules, etc.).

However, the true value of resisted testing lies not just in performing the test — but in interpreting it accurately.

A strong and painful contraction, for example, may indicate a minor muscle strain, while a weak and painless response could suggest a serious issue like a complete rupture or neurological deficit. Misinterpreting these subtle distinctions can lead to misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, or missed red flags.

Correct interpretation requires:

• Understanding the mechanical purpose of each test
• Considering the pain response and strength level
• Integrating findings with the patient’s history and other tests

In short, resisted tests are only as reliable as the clinician’s reasoning. Developing precision in both ex*****on and interpretation is essential for effective, evidence-informed clinical decision-making in musculoskeletal care.

The Importance of Functional Examination in Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains are among the most common musculoskeletal injuries, particularly in sports and active populations. While imaging and palpation can provide useful structural information, it is the functional examination that offers the clearest insight into the severity, stability, and impact of the injury on real-life movement.

🔍 Why Functional Assessment Matters

After an ankle sprain—especially a lateral ligament injury—it’s not enough to simply identify swelling or tenderness. Understanding how the ankle performs under load, during balance tasks, or in dynamic movement is key to:

• Determining functional instability
• Identifying deficits in proprioception, strength, and motor control
• Guiding safe and timely return to sport or activity
• Preventing chronic ankle instability or recurrent sprains

In short, the functional examination bridges the gap between injury and performance. It ensures that recovery isn't just about pain reduction, but about restoring true, confident movement — where it matters most.
