The movements that occur at the ankle joint are plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion. The muscles of the leg divide into anterior, posterior, and lateral compartments. [1]
Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion are movements at the ankle joint, which is a hinge joint. Lifting the front of the foot, so that the top of the foot moves toward the anterior leg is dorsiflexion, while lifting the heel of the foot from the ground or pointing the toes downward is plantar flexion.
30 Οκτ 2023 · The main action of the ankle joint is to allow dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the foot, as well as some degree of pronation and supination with subtalar and midtarsal joints. The joint also acts as a shock absorber as the heel strikes the ground during the first phases of gait .
8 Φεβ 2019 · The ankle joint is a hinge type joint, with movement permitted in one plane. Thus, plantarflexion and dorsiflexion are the main movements that occur at the ankle joint. Eversion and inversion are produced at the other joints of the foot, such as the subtalar joint .
7 Σεπ 2024 · Flexion refers to a movement that decreases the angle between two body parts. Flexion at the elbow is decreasing the angle between the ulna and the humerus. When the knee flexes, the ankle moves closer to the buttock, and the angle between the femur and tibia gets smaller. Extension refers to a movement that increases the angle between two body ...
1 Φεβ 2024 · The most common mechanism of ankle injury is the inversion of the ankle, which stresses the lateral ligament complex. The ATFL, the weakest ligament in the complex, is affected in 70% of lateral ankle sprain cases. The mechanism primarily involves plantar flexion and inversion.
30 Οκτ 2023 · Dorsiflexion of the foot is a movement that occurs in the sagittal plane exclusively at the ankle joint. It is the upward motion of the foot so that its dorsal (superior) surface approaches the shin, reducing the angle between them, hence the '-flexion' part of the name.
