The LCL of talocrural is made up of ____ and ____ and _______
anterior and posterior talofibular ligament & calcaneofibular ligament
What does LCL of talocrural help limit? ____ and ____
inversion
supination
between LCL and MCL of talocrural, which is stronger

In dorsiflexion, head of talus rolls ______ while body of talus glides ________ in mortise
dorsally
plantarly
Note: Talus head in mortise is convex on concave so opposites
Dorsally refers to up and plantarly refers to down
In plantarflexion the talus rolls plantarly and slides dorsally (Opposites)
normal DF is _____ degrees
20
Is DF or PF close packed?
Dorsiflexion
Dorsiflexion is limited by active/passive tension in ______
gastroc/soleus
normal PF ROM is ____ degrees
50 degrees
in plantarflexion, loose packed occurs when _______
posterior body of talus is in contact
what talocrural motion has a higher incidence of ankle sprains?
plantar flexion
because it’s loose packed
PF is limited by tension in ____, ______, and ______

lateral ankle is protected by ____ and ____
fib long
fib brev
Talus is wider distally or proximally?
distally
Dorsiflexion causes ____ rotation of tib-fib
medial
in WB, mortise rotates over talus, tib fib joint adjusts to widen around distal talus
Plantarflexion causes ____ rotation of tib-fib
lateral
in WB, mortise rotates over talus, tib fib joint adjusts to widen around distal talus
