FIBULA TENSEGRITY ⠀ [FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY & BIOMECHANICS] ⠀ The fibula is called a floating bone that is not directly weight bearing but has huge contribution to the locomotor system. It works with its neighboring tibia to create an important tensegrity relationship that allows for progression in the gait cycle. ⠀ During the gait cycle, bodyweight is transferred from leg to leg and this transfer of energy is initially enabled by the pronation phase of the lower extremity. Upon heel strike, the friction of the calcaneus on the ground begins a chain reaction of joint dynamics. The downward force of the bodyweight pushes the fibula inferior and laterally, while the tibia is also pushed into the ground and medially. This widens the syndesmosis of the ankle, making space for the talus to slide relatively posterior in the ankle mortise and creating ankle dorsiflexion. ⠀ As in other tensegrity relationships, the tension balances the compression and builds in the soft tissues such as the interosseous membrane (light blue), anterior superior tib-fib ligament (green), Barkow ligament (dark blue) and anterior inferior tib-fib ligament (purple). These soft tissues help convert the downward compressive forces from the bodyweight into tension forces and stored potential energy as they’re stretched. ⠀ This stored energy is then released “up the chain” into the superior joints helping efficiently complete the gait cycle (see C. Weinhart study in Developmental Dynamics for more). ⠀ One can imagine the ill-effects of a lateral ankle sprain or a tib-fib joint fixation and it’s disruption of these fibular mechanics and subsequent total system stress. Back pain is often linked to ankle function. Keep all the soft tissues hydrated and elastic to maintain efficiency in locomotion. ⠀ Credit: @anatomylinks #anatomy #fascia #tensegrity #biomechanics #foot #softtissue #ankle #anklesprain #chiropractic #knee #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #massage #yoga #running #yogaanatomy #physiology #inversiontrauma #supinationtrauma #osteopathy #orthopedics #knowledge #medicine #doctor #medstudent #student #biotensegrity #manualtherapy #kneepain #footpain (hier: Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6GiMBh61C/?igshid=1tqpmgx3v1s27

STABILITY STARTS FROM THE GROUND UP . [ankle stability drill] . With summer in full swing more and more people are getting outside and active! This is great and here is a great drill to help you keep active . Ankle sprain can be grouped into 3 categories: -inversion sprain (foot rolls in) -eversion (foot rolls out) -high ankle sprain (typically involves a dorsiflexed ankle and twisting) . Here is a simple drill to work on better ankle stability through a variety of ranges and targets the lateral and medial stabilizers of the ankles 👣 . The key 🔑 here is control. Speed can cover up limitations, so going slowly through this will allow you to improve proprioception. A mirror to start may be helpful to maintain the ankle in line with the forefoot and shin. Simply resist the pull of the band. You can do this on one foot as well and adjust resistance as able . Tag someone who needs some more ankle stength 🙌 . #vpankle #anklesprain #basketball #volleyball #football #soccer #anklestability - #rehab #prehab #flatfeet #feet #foot #footwork Rp @vitasphysio rp @irwanlibrata

Me and my dad up on top of the world in Seaford. I'm wearing his old man cap. It suits me better than him. 😜 I would nick it but then his baldie bonce would get cold. 😂 I'm wearing a dress from @newlookfashion Curves and cropped lace edged leggings from @yoursclothinguk. Today I decided to go out without strapping my ankle up as it hurts much more when it's compressed. It still doesn't feel completely stable and it still hurts but I think I've turned a corner - it feels a *little* better than it did yesterday. I'm not taking any chances though. I'm having a leisurely day tomorrow to give it a rest. #seaford #anklesprain #family #psootd

Over time I've realized that casts are actually good for sprained ankles and mild foot fractures, but most docs won't put casts on for those things. The Mobilegs crutches...I have a pair of them. They are not much more comfortable to crutch on than regular ones, but the hinged (flexible) armpit rests and ergonomic hand grips are nice. The biggest problem is that they are noisy crutches that click loudly with every step.

You have to stop to drink while on crutches. No exceptions to that rule.
