Functional morphology of the anthropoid talocrural joint
The form and function of the talocrural joint of anthropoids is frequently used to infer positional behaviors of fossil catarrhines without clear and quantitative data to support these inferences. Specifically, greater medial and posterior trochlear wedging, shallower trochleae and more obliquely …

Comparative Digital Examination of the Talocrural (ankle) Joint Provides Insight into Human bipedal locomotion
… are a prominent topic of discussion. The talocrural joint, a major weight-bearing ankle joint, is a feature of this discussion since all animals, including humans and our ancestors, have different functional requirements depending on locomotor modality. These requirements, featuring …

A finite element evaluation of the talocrural join and the effects of ligament injury on joint mechanics
… leads to chronic joint instability of both the talocrural and subtalar joints. A 3D model of the ankle joint was created using CT image data of a cadaver lower limb. A tetrahedral mesh was created and the bone modulus was assume d uniform. Tendons were represented by simple truss elements and …

The effect of manipulation to the proximal tibiofibular joint and talocrural joint on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion
… of the proximal tibiofibular joints and talocrural joints and traction of the talocrural joint in asymptomatic patients was not effective in increasing ankle dorisflexion range of motion. This minor thesis was written by a post-graduate student as part of the requirements of the Master of …

In-vivo cartilage contact biomechanics : an experimental and computational investigation of human ankle joint complex
… work. The in-vivo kinematic data showed that the talocrural joint contributes more in dorsi/plantarflexion, while the subtalar joint is more responsible for inversion/eversion and internal/external rotation of the joint. During the stance phase of walking there is a complicated combination of the …

Investigation of the differences in foot and ankle characteristics of patients with lower limb osteoarthritis : implications for clinical practice
… of the relationship between foot posture and talocrural dorsiflexion. A high degree of talocrural dorsiflexion corresponds with a positive FPI score indicating a pronated foot. A low degree of dorsiflexion corresponds with a negative FPI score indicating a supinated foot. This is the first …

The effect of balancing ligamentous tension (an indirect technique) on range of motion at the ankle
… (balancing ligamentous tension) on altered talocrural joint range of motion (ROM). The subjects were asymptomatic male and female volunteers, aged between nineteen and twenty nine years. Subjects with a 6 degree or more difference between ankle joint sagittal plane range of motion values …

The effect of talo-crural joint manipulation on range of motion at the ankle joint in subjects with a history of ankle injury
… low amplitude (HVLA) thrust manipulation to the talocrural joint altered ankle range of motion in subjects with a history of lateral ligament sprain. Male and female volunteers with a history of lateral ligament sprain were randomly assigned into either an experimental group or a control group. …

Effects of Increased Shoe Collar Height and Limb Dominance on Landing Knee Biomechanics in Collegiate Volleyball Players
… collar height rising slightly superior to the talocrural joint and malleoli. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of MC and limb dominance on knee landing mechanics. It was hypothesized that participants would land with greater initial contact (IC) and peak frontal joint plane …

Investigation of bench methods for determining stiffness of solid ankle-foot orthoses
… the range of motion that the AFO allows at the talocrural joint (Lin and Bono, 2010). Their design, however, is mainly empirical due to a lack of evidence-based research on their geometrical characteristics (Papi, 2012). Therefore, experimental data are critical for the optimization of AFOs' …

Role of Dynamic Postural Control Using Functional Movement Assessments in Individuals with Chronic Ankle Instability: Systematic Review and Matched Case-control Study
… Measures: In the case-control study we obtained talocrural dorsiflexion and plantar flexion active range of motion (AROM), subtalar inversion and eversion AROM, FMS composite score (FMS-CS), FMS lower extremity subscore (FMS-LE), the Athlete Single Leg Stability Test (ASLST), and the Foot and …
