    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Biomechanics
    • Anatomy

    Context:

    • Assessing foot and ankle biomechanics is crucial for diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal conditions.
    • Accurate measurement of joint angles is essential for objective documentation in clinical practice.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the utility of the tibiotalar (TC) angle for quantifying foot movements.
    • To establish a reliable method for documenting ankle joint mobility in adults.

    Summary:

    • The study measured the ventral angle between the tibia and talus in 75 adults.
    • Measurements were taken in neutral, dorsiflexion, and plantarflexion foot positions.
    • The tibiotalar (TC) angle provides precise documentation of foot movements.

    Impact:

    • The TC angle offers an exact method for documenting foot movements in medical reports.
    • This can improve the accuracy and consistency of clinical assessments of foot function.
    • Facilitates better communication and understanding of patient mobility limitations.
