Evaluation of Ankle Joint Motion Volume in Students of 2–3 Courses

The relevance of our study is due to the need to include several preventive measures aimed at the prevention and correction of foot biomechanics and joint and ligament apparatus. Most problems with the lower limb arise because of impaired foot biomechanics. As the foot is a unique part of the body and has the most important function of moving the body in space, it therefore carries a heavy and important load for the entire body. As the foot is inseparably linked to the ankle joint, with which it shares joint, ligamentous, and muscular apparatus, we assess their performance in parallel. It is necessary not only to correct the resulting foot biomechanics disorders in time, but also to carry out prevention, which can prevent several complications related to the foot and ankle joint. In our work we started with an initial assessment of students’ ankle biomechanics — assessing the volume of motion. Further studies will include manual muscle testing and hardware examination of the foot and ankle, as well as writing practical recommendations for a set of exercises aimed at correcting and preventing foot health.
