Study Notes
Ankle and Foot Anatomy
- The ankle joint allows for moderate amounts of dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, coupled with small amounts of inversion and eversion.
Ankle Joint Movement
- The ankle joint is always accompanied by movement at the subtalar joint.
Ligament Stability
- The deltoid ligament provides medial stability for the ankle.
- The lateral collateral ligament provides lateral stability for the ankle.
Bone Structure and Function
- The talus bone transmits the weight of the body from the tibia to the toes.
- The fibula bone provides lateral stability to the ankle.
- The tibia bone is larger than the fibula.
Nerve Anatomy
- The common peroneal nerve curves around the head of the fibula.
Muscle Function and Action
- The tibialis posterior muscle assists in both inversion and plantarflexion of the ankle.
- The tibialis anterior muscle is responsible for dorsiflexion of the ankle joint.
- The peroneus longus muscle is involved in both eversion and plantarflexion of the ankle joint.
- The flexor digitorum longus muscle is responsible for flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint of the toes.
