Ankle Joint Model with Applications in Extreme Situations of Ligament Traumas Radu-Mihai Iacob1, Emil Budescu2, Virgil Atanasiu2 Radu Ibǎnescu2, Dan Zaharia3 Introduction From biomechanics point of view, the ankle joint represents a structural and functional unity through witch the propulsion forces during gait, run and jump are transmitted to the foot and, in the same time, takes over part of the shock produced by the impact with ground and transmits them to the muscular structures to be absorbed. Currently, the literature approaches the human locomotion apparatus mainly from four perspectives, as follows:
