Ankle Dorsiflexion

Ankle dorsiflexion is the movement that brings the top of your foot closer to your shin, like when you lift your foot to take a step or point your toes upward. It involves the muscles and joints at the front of your ankle working together to control this motion. This movement is important for walking, running, and maintaining balance. Limited dorsiflexion can affect walking efficiency and may cause discomfort or injury. Stretching and strengthening the relevant muscles can help improve this movement, ensuring proper ankle function and stability.
