Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to measure the changes of supination and pronation in the ankle joint at landing to quantify the influence of shock attenuation during landing. The subjects did two different motions, jumping down on the force platform from posterior and lateral views. The rear view of single foot contact in a jump from height of 30 and 60 cm showed a landing on the inside of the rear part of the foot (pronation) followed after about 0.03 sec by a rolling outward of the foot (supination). The variables describing changes in three angles of the ankle joint indicated that the standing position was more sensitive on the pronation and supination during ground contact.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
