1. The bony architecture of the ankle joint is most stable in dorsiflexion . 2. The subtalar joint contributes to 10 % of dorsiflexion of the ankle. 3. The movements produced at this joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the foot. 4. Pronation of the foot is a compound movement that combines eversion, and dorsiflexion . 5. For example, when walking on the heels the ankle is described as being in dorsiflexion . 6. Concentric back extension and eccentric dorsiflexion remained significantly less than preflight values on R + 7. 7. The range of motion for dorsiflexion indicated in the literature varies from 12.2 to 18 degrees. 8. Foot drop is a condition, that occurs when dorsiflexion is difficult for an individual who is walking. 9. Essentially, the movements of tibialis anterior are dorsiflexion and weight bearing or not ( closed or open kinetic chain ). 10. It is characterized by inability or impaired ability to raise the toes or raise the foot from the ankle ( dorsiflexion ).
