Function of lateral ankle ligaments for subtalar and talocrural joint stability during dynamic inversion movement

This study assesses the biomechanics of different joints in the ankle (talocrural & subtalar) after surgery of the lateral ankle ligaments to assess how the sagittal positions would influence the contributions of the individual ligaments to joint stability during dynamic inversion.

Educational Objectives

Educational Aim:
The aim is to evaluate the biomechanics of the talocrural and subtalar joints after lateral ankle joint complex ligament surgery to assess the ankle stability during inversion.

Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:

1. The biomechanics of different joint movements in the ankle
2. The effect that lateral ankle ligaments has on joint stability
3. The relationship between sagittal positions in the ankle, and stability in dynamic inversion
4. Which lateral ankle ligaments contribute the most to ankle stability in different positions.
