Study Notes
Ankle Injury and Anatomy
- Ankle injury is a malfunction or damage to a part of the body that prevents an athlete from performing, including muscles, bones, and tendons.
Ankle Sprain
- Ankle sprain occurs when ligaments are forced out of their normal range of motion, causing damage to the ankle joint.
- Causes of ankle sprain include:
- Falling and landing awkwardly
- Jumping and landing in a strange position
- Walking or working on an uneven surface
- Having someone else stomp on your foot during sports activity
Symptoms of Ankle Sprain
- Ankle swelling and pain when touched or pressed
- Pain when loading body weight on injured foot
- Haematoma or ankle hypertrophy (skin appears blue)
- Difficulty moving the ankle around
Ankle Anatomy
- The ankle consists of:
- 26 Bones
- 33 Joints
- Tendons:
- Ansi Ligament
- Frontal Ligament
- Herbal fragmentation ligament
- Zanpubi Ligament
- Ankle Bone: Located in the underpass
- Tibia: The forgotten part of the ankle
- Splinter: Located in the brutal part of the ankle
Ankle Joint Movement
- Ankle core joint is responsible for foot movement up and down
- Partial joint: Located under the base joint, consisting of two bones:
- Ankle bone (above)
- Butt bone (below)
- Partial joint is responsible for lateral motion of the foot
Motor Range Test for Ankle Joint
- Uses a Goinometer device to measure angles of the joint
- Measures the amount of improvement in joint movement
- Test is performed in four directions:
- Rounding
- Distancing
- Inward deviation
- Outward deviation
Muscle Strength Test for Ankle Joint
- Uses a device called Multagm to measure muscle strength
- Objective: Measure muscle strength working on ankle joint
- Test is performed by overcoming resistance in kilograms
- Important to not bend the knee joint and keep the back and hands in a free position
