what is the mortise?
where the tibia and fibula grip the talus, talar dome
identify the joint
subtalar joint (calcaneal)
What are the motions of the foot/ ankle?
- plantarflexion (increase the angle)
- dorsiflexion (decrease the angle)
- innversion (sole of foot faces midline of body)
- eversion (sole of foot faces away from midline of the body)
- supination (increase the arch of the foot)
- pronation (decrease the arch of the foot)
