AB The  joints,  ligaments,  and  muscles  of  the  ankle  and  foot  provide  stability  and  mobility  in  the  terminal  structures  of  the  lower  extremity.  During  standing,  the  foot  bears  the  weight  of  the  body  with  minimum  muscle  energy  expenditure.  The  foot  must  also  be  both  pliable  and  relatively  rigid  depending  on  various  functional  demands.  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.
