| The pressure-sensitive foot switches were secured to the calcaneus and to the first ray on the plantar surface of the foot. |
| During this interval there is rapid plantar flexion of the ankle joint due to concentric contraction of the triceps surae muscle. |
| These areas include the plantar fascia, ankle joint, tarsal tunnel, interdigital space, and first metatarsophalangeal joint. |
| The wound was closed in layers, and a compressive dressing was applied with the ankle in slight plantar flexion. |
| The dorsal metatarsal, deep plantar, lateral and medial plantar, and lateral malleolar arteries are identified. |
| The most common mechanism of injury in ankle sprains is a combination of plantar flexion and inversion. |
