Abstract The paper deals with the torques of external muscles acting on the upper ankle joint under weight-bearing conditions and their importance in diagnosing and treating the human foot. Experimental data were collected and calculations were performed. Based on the experiments with the biomechanical model of the foot and upper ankle joint, it was shown how the changes in the force arms of the external muscles of the foot under weight-bearing conditions, change the torque. The real values of muscle forces and torques of the external muscles of the foot were calculated. Taking into account the distance of the lines of muscle action from the axis of rotation of the upper ankle joint the rotational force of the muscles was calculated. The influence of changing the force arm on the rotational efficiency of the muscle balancing the moment of gravity was shown. Knowledge of muscle torque under weight-bearing conditions is crucial for correctly assessing foot biomechanics. It has been shown that torque (gravitational and muscular), not pure force, is crucial when assessing the rotational capacity of the analyzed joint. A change in the approach to diagnostics and treating paresis or weakness of extrinsic foot muscles was proposed through the manipulation of the distance of their action line from the axis of joint rotation. |
