3. Tibia, Fibula, Talus A Gliding Joint Sometimes refered to it as a Hinge Joint Form the “Ankle Mortise” Very stable joint Most injured joint Why?

7. Extensor / Flexor digitorum Extensor Hallucis - extend the big toe, dorsiflex the foot, and assists with foot inversion Tibialis Anterior – Dorsiflex and invert Tibialis Posterior – Plantarflex and invert Peroneal longus/brevis – Plantarflex and evert Gastrocnemius/soleus – Plantarflex

10. Sprains Strains Contusions Fractures Dislocations / Subluxations Tendonitis Bursitis
