Abstract
The purpose of this study was to measure the deflection angle of both peroneal tendons as they turn around the lateral malleolus. A reduction of the angle occurs when the subject stands on tip-toes, in the manner of dancers and sprinters. This reduction of deflection angle leads to higher mechanical efficiency. Female subjects were found to be superior to males in their ability to plantarflex the ankle, straightening out their tendons more than do men. The traditional approach to exercising muscles around the ankle ignores the varied mechanical situations which occur during the practice of sports. The data presented should provide guidelines for rehabilitation programs of the injured ankle and lateral border of the foot. Verf.-Referat
