Tom is a 16 year old high school football player who is coming to outpatient physical therapy due to a sprained deltoid ligament in his left ankle.  Today’s visit was the first time that he used the treadmill.  You took his heart rate when he first came in, right after he got off the treadmill and 5 minutes after he got off of the treadmill.  When he first came in, you counted 10 beats in a 10 second interval.  Right after he ran on the treadmill, you counted 50 beats in a 30 second interval.  Five minutes after he was done with the treadmill, you counted 70 beats in a 60 second interval.  You also took Tom’s BP (blood pressure) before and after he ran on the treadmill. Tom reports pain with palpation of the affected area and with ankle motion that stresses the deltoid ligament.  To determine if there has been any change in Tom’s pain levels during subsequent visits, which of the following areas should you palpate?
