She does not experience any unusual sensations. She reports that she sprained her R ankle once in high school, but she does not remember exactly what structures were injured.  AT RESPONSE: What relevant objective evaluation processes will you perform to differentiate between these conditions and (possibly) determine its severity?

Your entries must include correct spelling.  You may (and are encouraged) to use common abbreviations and acronyms linked to anatomical and medical terminology when appropriate. When listing structural/stress tests, it is expected that you will also list the conditions they are indicated for.
