    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.
    • The extensor digitorum longus muscle is responsible for extension of the metatarsophalangeal joints of the toes.
    • The gastrocnemius muscle is responsible for plantarflexion of the ankle joint.
    • The tibialis anterior muscle is involved in both inversion and dorsiflexion of the ankle joint.
    • The flexor hallucis longus muscle is responsible for flexion of the interphalangeal joint of the hallux (big toe).
    • The peroneus tertius muscle is involved in both eversion and dorsiflexion of the ankle joint.
    • The extensor hallucis longus muscle is responsible for extension of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the hallux (big toe).

    Joint Movement and Function

    • The subtalar joint allows for inversion and eversion of the foot.
    • The ankle joint allows for dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle.
