Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to define the biomechanical characteristics of the isolated, individual bone-ligament-bone complexes of the human ankle. Twenty human ankles were dissected of all soft tissues to leave only the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus with their intact anterior talofibular, calcaneofibular, posterior talofibular, and deep deltoid ligaments. Specimens were mounted and tested in a Minneapolis Testing System. Protocol consisted of cyclic loading of each isolated bone-ligament-bone preparation, followed by several constant velocity load-deflection tests at varying deflecti

Abstract:
Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: The current trend for chronic lateral ankle instability treatment is direct repair of the ATFL and/or CFL by open or arthroscopic-assisted technique. There is recent evidence suggesting improved success with acute ligament repair following high grade ankle sprains as well as on the impact of CFL injury on ankle and subtalar biomechanics. However, the impact of acute repair on ankle and subtalar joint kinematics and biomechanics is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of repairing the ATFL alone compared to repairing bo

The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine insertion area, length and thickness of the various bundles and their anatomical relationship with inter-individual differences. Twelve ankles from human cadavers (ages 56 to 95 years, from nine men and three women) were dissected to the capsuloligamentous structures. Marked inter-individual differences were found for the five main ligaments (tibiospring, tibiocalcaneal, posterior and anterior deep tibiotalar and superficial posterior tibiotalar). The tibionavicular ligament is a thickened fibrous layer of the ankle capsule. The tibiocalcanea

Recent epidemiological, clinical, and biomechanical studies have implicated axial impact to the plantar surface of the foot to be a cause of lower extremity trauma in vehicular crashes. The present study was conducted to evaluate the biomechanics of the human foot–ankle complex under axial impact. Nine tests were conducted on human cadaver below knee–foot–ankle complexes. All specimens were oriented in a consistent anatomical position on a mini-sled and the impact load was delivered using a pendulum. Specimens underwent radiography and gross dissection following the test. The pathology include

Abstract:
The main objective of the study was to develop advanced biomechanical models of the intact human ankle complex. It was also aimed at designing a total ankle replacement which would better reproduce the physiological function of the joint. Passive flexion was analyzed in a number of lower-leg preparations with stereophotogrammetry and radiostereometry. The articular surfaces and fibres within the calcaneofibular and tibiocalcaneal ligaments were observed to prescribe the changing positions of bones, ligaments and instantaneous axis of rotation. Joint motion included rolling as well as sliding.

Running is a kind of high-repetitive limb movements, which can possibly suffer knee-joint and ankle joint badly. In this paper, the author uses advanced instrument of motion capture to gain the gait data of human’s running motion，then create the curve of motion data tracing the knee-joint and ankle joint guided by the theory of biomechanics and kinesiology. Last we get the cause about the suffering of meniscus and ligament of knee-joint and ankle joint during the process of human’s running motion.

When humans hop or run on compliant surfaces they alter the stiffness of their legs so that the overall stiffness of the leg-surface system remains the same. Adding a spring in parallel to the ankle joint incites a similar neuromuscular response; humans decrease their biological ankle stiffness such that the overall ankle stiffness remains unchanged. These results suggest that an elastic exoskeleton could be effective at reducing the metabolic cost of locomotion. To further increase our understanding of human response we have developed an elastic knee brace that adds a stiff spring in parallel

State-of-the-art commercial ankle prostheses enable amputees to walk on level ground replicating the passive biomechanics of able-bodied persons reasonably well.

At these instances, the probability of falling is greatly increased. In contrast, the natural ankle adapts passively (i.e. no net positive power is required) just after heel strike allowing the foot to conform to the ground. This paper focuses on developing
