AB  - The  joints,  ligaments,  and  muscles  of  the  ankle  and  foot  provide  stability  and  mobility  in  the  terminal  structures  of  the  lower  extremity.  When  a  person  stands,  the  foot  bears  the  weight  of  the  body  with  minimum  muscle  energy  expenditure.  During  various  functinal  activities,  the  foot  becomes  pliable  or  relatively  rigid  depending  on  the  functional  demand.  This  versatility  allows  the  foot  to  absorb  forces,  accommodate  to  uneven  surfaces,  and  serve  as  a  structural  lever  to  propel  the  body  forward  during  walking  and  running.
