Study Notes
Ankle Injury
- Patient experienced a minor hesitancy in using their right ankle after landing on the lateral surface while skateboarding one month ago.
- Patient is not comfortable jumping on that foot on its own.
Associated Bones
- Not specified, but the ankle joint is formed by the connection of the tibia, fibula, and talus bones.
Articulating Surfaces
- Not specified, but the ankle joint consists of the trochlea of the talus bone and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula bones.
ROM Rules Out
- Not specified, but ROM (Range of Motion) rules out other possible causes of ankle pain.
Myotomes/Dermatomes that would affect this joint
- Not specified, but the ankle joint is innervated by the L4-S1 nerve roots.
Ankle Range of Motion (ROM)
- Flexion: degree of motion not specified
- Extension: degree of motion not specified
- Inversion: degree of motion not specified
- Eversion: degree of motion not specified
Flexion Movement
- Prime movers: not specified, but likely the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles
- Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the medial aspect of the tibia and fibula bones
- Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the talus and calcaneus bones
- Innervation: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots
- Nerve roots: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots
Extension Movement
- Prime movers: not specified, but likely the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles
- Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the medial aspect of the femur bone
- Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the calcaneus bone
- Innervation: not specified, but likely the S1-S2 nerve roots

Inversion Movement
- Prime movers: not specified, but likely the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus muscles
- Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the medial aspect of the tibia and fibula bones
- Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the talus and navicular bones
- Innervation: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots
- Nerve roots: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots
Eversion Movement
- Prime movers: not specified, but likely the peroneus longus and brevis muscles
- Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the lateral aspect of the fibula bone
- Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the cuboid and metatarsal bones
- Innervation: not specified, but likely the L5-S1 nerve roots
- Nerve roots: not specified, but likely the L5-S1 nerve roots
