2. Ankle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle

   The ankle, the talocrural region [1] or the jumping bone (informal) is the area where the foot and the leg meet. [2] The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the inferior tibiofibular joint. [3] [4] [5] The movements produced at this joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ...

   Examples include a movement of the knee, where the lower leg changes angle compared to the femur, or movements of the ankle. [2] The study of movement in the human body is known as kinesiology. [4] A categoric list of movements and the muscles involved can be found at list of movements of the human body.

   For the foot, pronation will cause the sole of the foot to face more laterally than when standing in the anatomical position. Pronation of the foot is a compound movement that combines abduction, eversion, and dorsiflexion. Regarding posture, a pronated foot is one in which the heel bone angles inward and the arch tends to collapse.

5. Pronation of the foot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronation_of_the_foot

   Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. Composed of three cardinal plane components: subtalar eversion, ankle dorsiflexion, and forefoot abduction, [1] [2] these three distinct motions of the foot occur simultaneously during the pronation phase. [3]

6. Tarsus (skeleton) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsus_(skeleton)

   Functional motion during the gait cycle is 10-15 degrees (the heel strikes the ground in slight inversion followed by quick eversion). [2] The talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints (i.e. between the talus and navicular bones, and the calcaneus and cuboid bones) form the so-called transverse tarsal joint or Chopart's joint. It has two axes of ...

7. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

   The type of movement that can be produced at a synovial joint is determined by its structural type. Movement types are generally paired, with one being the opposite of the other. Body movements are always described in relation to the anatomical position of the body: upright stance, with upper limbs to the side of body and palms facing forward. [11]

8. Talus bone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talus_bone

   The talus (/ ˈ t eɪ l ə s /; Latin for ankle [1] or ankle bone; [2] pl.: tali), talus bone, astragalus (/ ə ˈ s t r æ ɡ ə l ə s /), or ankle bone is one of the group of foot bones known as the tarsus. The tarsus forms the lower part of the ankle joint. It transmits the entire weight of the body from the lower legs to the foot. [3]

9. Lower-limb walking pattern - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower-limb_walking_pattern

   This plantar flexion movement is controlled eccentrically by the ankle dorsiflexors. [5] As the body glides over the fixed foot, a maximum of about 10 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion is reached. The ankle dorsiflexion is a result of the tibia moving forward over the foot and is facilitated by eccentric control provided by the soleus.
