The foot and ankle joint work together to provide stability, movement, and weight-bearing support for the body. The ankle joint is a hinge joint, formed by the tibia, fibula, and talus, allowing dorsiflexion (upward movement) and plantarflexion (downward movement) of the foot. The foot consists of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, making it highly complex and adaptable for walking, running, and balance. The arch of the foot helps absorb shock and distribute body weight efficiently. Common conditions affecting the foot and ankle include sprains, fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and arthritis. Proper footwear, exercise, and stretching can help maintain foot and ankle health.
