Document Summary

Limits inversion in plantar flexed position (atf) Limits inversion in neutral (somewhere b/w neutral and a little dorsiflexed) Short, tough fibers that hold tibia and fibula together (very strong ligaments) Common way to sprain ankle, landing from a height. Planting foot on uneven ground can predispose us for ankle injuries. Having foot firmly placed on ground and then changing directions. Rotate tibia over top of foot (passive movement) External rotation of leg lengthens and rips open the atf and ptt (foot doesn"t move) Lateral malleolus will move backwards, medial malleolus will move forward. You will most commonly see tibia turned in to the foot. Dorsiflexion + rotation = most potential for high ankle sprain (slowest to recover) Syndesmosis tibia turned in on foot, foot turned out to tibia. When you do this movement, you jam the talus into tib fib space. If done quickly with a lot of weight, easiest way to pry open tib fib.
