Extension ofthe ankle, or more accurately plantarflexion is achieved by a comination of muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg. The Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Plantaris, Flexor Hallucis Longus, Flexor Digitorum Longus and Tibialis Posterior all help to plantarflex.
Your ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg bones make up the ankle joint. Your ligaments, which connect bones to one another, stabilize and support it. Your muscles and tendons move it. The most common ankle problems are sprains and fractures. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments. It may take a few weeks to many months to heal completely. A fracture is a break in a bone. You can also injure other parts of the ankle such as tendons, which join muscles to bone, and cartilage, which cushions your joints. Ankle sprains and fractures are common sports injuries
The ankle joint is a hinged joint, classified as a third-class lever in the body. The effort (force) is applied by the calf muscles to move the foot (load) to produce movement at the ankle joint.
Using the calf muscles in the pedal stroke; making the ankle move.
mouses move because they have muscles,bone,and etc. common sense people!
Yes, the ankle joint is considered a third-class lever. In this type of lever system, the effort is between the resistance and the fulcrum. In the case of the ankle, the effort is generated by the muscles that cross the joint to move the foot, the resistance is the weight of the body and the fulcrum is the ankle joint itself.

Brain control the muscles through nerves. Your muscles are like rubber bands only more stronger. muscles only pull and not push they pull from counter directions in a front to back way. your brain tells on of the muscles to pull and the other to not.
All muscles can move, but only skeletal muscles are voluntary. The cardiac and the smooth muscles cannot be moved by your will, but skeletal muscles can be.
Yes, only the toe is broken not the ankle.
Normal anatomyThe ankle joint connects the foot with the leg. The ankle joint allows the foot to move upward and downward and in an inward and outward motion. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments surround the ankle providing the stability the ankle joint needs for walking and running.Type I ankle sprainThe most common way the ankle can be injured is by an ankle sprain. When an ankle is sprained ligaments on the ankle are either stretched, partially torn or completely torn. The most common type of sprain is an inversion injury, where the foot is rotated inward. Ankle sprains can range from mild, to moderate, and severe. Type 1 ankle sprain is a mild sprain. It occurs when the ligaments have been stretched or torn minimally.Type II ankle sprainType II ankle sprain is a moderate level of sprain. It occurs when some of the fibers of the ligaments are torn completely.Type III ankle sprainType III ankle sprain is the most severe ankle sprain. It occurs when the entire ligament is torn and there is great instability of the ankle joint.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/01/2011Linda J.

The muscles that help you move when you want to are called voluntary muscles.
Actually you can move all your muscles, but the name for the ones you move involuntarily are called involuntary muscles.
