Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

2.3K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Unsymmetric Bending - Angle of Neutral Axis01:15

Unsymmetric Bending - Angle of Neutral Axis

683
Unsymmetrical bending occurs when a structural member is subjected to bending moments in a plane that does not align with the member's principal axes. This scenario typically arises in beams and other structural components when loads are applied at non-ideal angles, introducing complexities in stress analysis.
When a bending moment is applied at an angle θ concerning the vertical axis of a symmetrical member, it can be resolved into components along the member's principal...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Kinesiology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Ankle goniometry is crucial for assessing joint mobility.
  • Existing methods like the neutral zero method (N0M) and bone reference method (BRM), including its subtype N0I, have variations.
  • Standardization is needed for reliable ankle range of motion measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare ankle flexion-extension amplitude using N0M, N0I, and BRM in young adults.
  • To evaluate the influence of different body positions on these measurements.
  • To provide evidence for enhancing the reliability of ankle goniometry.

Main Methods:

  • 190 kinesiology and physiotherapy students participated.
  • Ankle flex-extension was measured using N0M, N0I, and BRM.
  • Measurements were taken in four distinct body positions.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in measurements were observed across the three methods (P<0.05).
  • Patient positioning notably affected goniometric results.
  • Women exhibited greater plantar flexion and overall flex-extension compared to men (P<0.0001 and P<0.001, respectively).

Conclusions:

  • Both goniometric method and patient position significantly influence ankle range of motion measurements.
  • Gender is a significant factor in plantar ankle flexion, irrespective of the method used.
  • These findings highlight the need for standardized protocols in ankle goniometry.
