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.
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 ...
In this tutorial, we will first identify the bones involved in the ankle joints then we'll look at the joint itself and lastly identify the ligaments that hold these bones together. And to finish off, we'll look at some clinical correlations of the ankle joint. So first up are the bones that make up the ankle joint.
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.
Let's make our way down into the lower limb all the way to the ankle, in fact, and talk about plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. At the ankle joints which, like the wrist, has multiple bones and joints within it, we have two unique pairs of movements – plantarflexion/dorsiflexion and inversion/eversion. We'll deal with the former first.
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.
Condyloid joints found in the forefoot and toes, which allow the flexion (bending) and extension, adduction and abduction (sideward movement). The joints of the foot and ankle provide stability and support the weight of the body, helping you to walk or run, and to adapt to uneven ground.
