[Biomechanical considerations of the load on the ankle joint].
The biomechanical approach to the characteristics of load on the ankle joint and the surrounding structures allows a better understanding of the cause and effect of externally acting forces in human movement (walking, running, jumping). This detailed understanding of the mechanics involved (not only in the functional anatomical sense) makes preventive measures possible that can reduce the risk of distortion at the ankle. With the same mechanical models, clinically applicable methods allow biomechanically monitored rehabilitation. The case studies reported here illustrate that therapeutic success can be measured objectively, leading to improvement in therapy and in the ability to make decisions in the clinical environment.
