Did you know our ankle ligaments aren’t just team players for stability? They’re super sensors too! These ligaments have tiny nerve endings that act like 24/7 motion detectors.
- They tell your brain exactly where your ankle is and how it’s moving (kinesthesia and awareness).
- When your ankle twists or bends, these sensors send quick signals to calm or tighten the surrounding muscles, helping you stay balanced and avoid getting hurt.
- After an ankle sprain, those sensors can get misfired a bit, which is why rehab includes balance and coordination training to retrain the brain-ankle signals.
Bottom line: Our ankles feel and react in real time to keep us steady, even on tricky surfaces. Pretty amazing, right? 🧠🦶✨
We can look at ankle ligaments with our state of the art Diagnostic Ultrasound Scanner, while also dynamically assessing for ligament laxity, partial tear or complete tear.
We love helping with anything lower limb!
