Ankle Joints

Ankle joints are the two joints that join the end of the leg with the foot. They help facilitate movement and provide stability during locomotion and standing. Ankle joints are a complex joint made of several bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. The ankle joint has a great range of motion that allows us to walk, run, and jump. It also helps provide stability to the foot when it is planted on the ground. Dysfunction of the ankle joint can lead to instability, pain, and a lack of balance. This can result in ankle sprains, fractures, or arthritis. Proper diagnosis and treatment of ankle joint dysfunction is important to ensure mobility and stability.
