The ankle should ideally bend to allow for a range of motion that supports activities like walking, running, and jumping. Generally, a healthy ankle can dorsiflex (bend upward) about 15 to 20 degrees and plantarflex (point downward) around 40 to 50 degrees. However, individual flexibility and mobility can vary, so it's essential to consider personal comfort and function rather than a specific measurement. If there are concerns about ankle movement, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.
The ankle bends two ways, anterior (up) and posterior (down), so it depends. The bend the ankle down (point the toe), the gastrocnemius muscle (calf) must contract. To bend the ankle up (lift the toe) the tibialis anterior muscle must contract.
Low top so you can bend you ankle properly.
The top your foot is considered the dorsal side and so bending the foot upwards at the ankle is known as dorsiflexion.
The best thing to do when your ankle keeps popping when you bend it and apply pressure is to visit a doctor. Even without any sound of popping the ankle may need to have a X-Ray.
Flex your foot
LoL bend it the opposite way it naturally bends
Try the joints: hip, knee, ankle.
your calf and shin muscle. ;)
The joint on my ankle has been felling like it sticks out too far.
It depends how far you bend it.
Hinge joints such as the elbow and knee, ball and socket joints such as the shoulder and hip can bend, and pivot joints such as the wrist and ankle are also able to bend to a lesser degree.
You should ice the ankle immediately. Ice ankle in 15 to 20 minute intervals. There will likely be swelling and bruising to the ankle. This is common. See you doctor.
