The Human Foot and Ankle

Introduction Human ankle consists of 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. These ingredients work together to provide support, balance, and flexibility to the body. The foot functions as a "hard lever and movable adapter" (Amstrong [Prosthetic feet], 2010). Human feet must be able to withstand the weight of the body and must act as a shock absorber (Swierzewski, 2007; NYU, 1990). Prostheses need to be able to mimic missing natural feet to get the most effective walking pattern.

Ankle brace (AFO) and footwear are often used to help children with gait patterns of cerebral palsy. The use of ankle / feet and foot orthosis helps to improve foot alignment, balance and prevent malformation (331). When wearing an ankle foot fitting, it prevents walking of the toes, reduces gastrocnemius activity, and prevents clubfoot so that the flex of the foot does not exceed 90 degrees (331). - About 25,000 people are sprained ankle daily every day (American College of Orthopedic Surgeons). When the ankle is sprained, the doctor may advise him to see a physical therapist. Physical therapists will help those who are injured or sick and physical therapists will help patients recover a healthy lifestyle just as they did before they hurt. They will also help people with disabilities

At first, we assume that the proportion of women is very high in this article. This is because the strength of the joint of the ankle is due to the ratio of the strength of the valgus vulva associated with the ankle injury.
