The ankle has a complex system of ligaments. The ankle is the synovial joint of the human body located between leg and foot exactly at the meeting point of three bones: tibia, fibula and talus. The tibia and fibula are the two bones that make up the leg, while the talus is one of the seven bones that make up the tarsal group of the foot.
The ankle allows the foot to perform two fundamental and opposite movements: the flexion planto and the back flexion. The flexion planto is the movement that allows you to point the foot towards the floor such as walking on demi-pointe. The back flexion is the movement that allows you to lift the foot and walk on the heels.
Both of these movements require the involvement of different muscles that must be trained to remain strong and resistant and to avoid sprains and dysfunctional attitudes of the ankle and foot.
In reality, thanks to its ligaments, the ankle also enjoys some lateral mobility. This property allows the human being to walk on uneven surfaces.
Such a complex system with many properties has limits that if exceeded can cause stretching or damage to the ligaments of the ankle. By learning how to use the ProArch correctly you will improve the mobility and strength of the ankle, instep and prevent injuries.
