Q

Bones of the ankle joint: tibia and fibula

A

-the proximal joint: is a plane synovial joint and fibular is more posterior
-distal: the lateral (fibula) extends more distally than the tibia making it more susceptible to injuries
-between the two bones there is an interosseus membrane and a fat pad

Q

Talocrural joint throughout the stance phase of gait

A

Heel contact = Plantarflexion
as you move into toe off, you move into dorsiflexion because it is more stable
