Biomechanics Lecture 10: Ankle & Foot

This lecture covers the biomechanics of the ankle and foot and relevant pathologies.

[@DoctorOfSoccer]

Hi Tom, just wanted to thank you so much for your video lectures which provide free and accessible information to us laypeople! Because of your Biomechanics lectures, I was able to get an A in my undergrad anatomy class, so once again, thank you for your dedication to helping people learn, and keep up the good work! 👍

[@RehabScience]

That is so awesome to hear! So glad the videos were helpful to you!

[@user-em6wd3th5w]

For years I've been looking for content like this. Thanks for the great explanation, images and animations. Can't wait to explore your channel further.

[@alondralalala5761]

I follow you on instagram and I'm so glad you're making videos now!! This is helping so much in PT school! I love that the concepts I'm seeing in class you put into perspective of how I would use them in clinic or in mobilizations. Brings so much sense into it. THANK YOU!

[@RehabScience]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I am so happy to hear that my content has been helpful to you!

[@kurt2439]

Wow this was such a great video! Exactly what I was looking for to understand more about what's going on down there at the biomechanical level and understand more about what self mobilizations like those in the Supple Leopard are affecting. Super excited to watch your other videos in this series! Thanks for making these !

[@RehabScience]

Thank you! I so glad the video was helpful!

I broke my ankle and had surgery a couple months ago so I was looking up some info and so glad I ran across this! Very thorough and I'm actually a massage therapist so I'll be checking out your other videos too ! Thank you for sharing the knowledge 🙏

[@RehabScience]

So glad the lecture was useful! Best wishes with your recovery!

Hello Tom, your videos are very usefull to remember biomechanics I saw in college and were more clear, your videos are awesome.

[@RehabScience]

Thanks so much! I’m glad to hear the videos were beneficial to you!

[@yohannesabich9700]

great job. I need also all the biomechanics of the shoulder, elbow, wrist. hip and knee joints with concave and convex rule

[@RehabScience]

They are all posted, if you look through my biomechanics playlist. 👍

Hi Tom, great video. One thing I'm curious about is the diagram at the 27:00 mark shows the "spring ligament" attaching from the calc to the base of the 5th metatarsal. I've known the spring ligament to be medial, and properly known as the calcaneonavicular. Do you understand this ligament in your diagram as being a more functional "spring ligament"? Or was this just an accidental error? Genuinely curious! Thanks, Tom.

[@RehabScience]

Glad you are enjoying the lectures! Yes, in that illustration, the ligament is meant to represent the ligament from a more functional standpoint.

[@thakorekirti9201]

Amazing:) I love your videos

[@RehabScience]

So glad to hear you are enjoying them!

[@tennesseemattoutdoors5405]

I broke my talus in a auto accident and not once did they tell me any of this and how to help myself fix lower back and knee pain.. Thank you I know how to start now fixing the problem without medication

[@RehabScience]

Sorry to hear they didn’t explain much to you. Glad the lecture was helpful!

[@anatheus]

It is entertaining! Thanks!

[@RehabScience]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@youreworthyourweightinavoc7189]

At 27:20 - are you sure that's the spring ligament labelled correctly? It looks more like the lateral band of the plantar fascia to me. I thought the spring was on the medial side, forming a little hammock for the talus.

[@RehabScience]

Good catch on that diagram! The spring ligament should be on the medial side.

[@user-py2hc2it3f]

1 word- thanks 🙌

[@RehabScience]

You’re welcome!

[@SlicedSlappy]

Going on two years of a really bad ankle sprain. Avulsion fracture of lateral malleolus leading to ATFL pulling bone off malleolus. Now this foot collapses on arch leading to a whole mess hyperpronation, not just pronation.

[@RehabScience]

Ugh, sorry to hear that!

[@jullienunes_]

Great job! Where can I find the gait lecture?

[@RehabScience]

Thanks! I plan to upload it this week.

[@timothyvanpelt_cyclist]

I get the roll and glide for the concave side. Like you say, the glide has to be opposite to the roll, otherwise it would “fall off” or cause impingement. But with this reasoning I would argue the same for the convex side. If this rolls and glides in the same direction, why doesn’t it fall off / cause impingement?

[@RehabScience]

The concave side rolls and glides in the same direction. The convex side rolls and glides in opposite directions.
