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 foot.
Schematics and images of types of limb proprioceptor neurons in mammals (top) and insects (bottom) [1] Proprioception (/ ˌproʊpri.oʊˈsɛpʃən, - ə -/ [2][3] PROH-pree-oh-SEP-shən, -ə-) is the sense of self-movement, force, and body position.

Kinesthetic learning (American English), kinaesthetic learning (British English), or tactile learning is learning that involves physical activity. As cited by Favre (2009), Dunn and Dunn define kinesthetic learners as students who prefer whole-body movement to process new and difficult information. [1] However, scientific studies do not support ...
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] Pronation is ...
007254. [edit on Wikidata] Ankle replacement, or ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged articular surfaces of the human ankle joint with prosthetic components. This procedure is becoming the treatment of choice for patients requiring arthroplasty, replacing the conventional use of arthrodesis, i.e. fusion of the bones.
Areas of the body deemed sexually-desirable are affected by contemporary social norms and dress codes. A substantial portion of Victorian men famously boasted a knee or ankle fetish. This is due to the modesty of the nineteenth century which considered bare legs in public scandalous. [4]
An ankle fracture is a break of one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint. [ 1 ] Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to walk on the injured leg. [ 1 ] Complications may include an associated high ankle sprain, compartment syndrome, stiffness, malunion, and post-traumatic arthritis. [ 1 ][ 2 ]
