Thompson's Test for Achilles Tendon Tears

Cari tore her Achilles tendon today doing box jumps!  Imagine that, years and years of gymnastics, double pikes on floor, Tsukaharas on Vault, and thousands of landings later, all it took was a lousy box jump to tear it!  She never had any injuries during her gymnastics career, and the box finished her off :)

This is the test that the doctor did at the ER to determine whether or not it was completely ruptured.  Pretty cool if you ask me!
