ABSTRACT

Objectives: Due to its importance during weightbearing activities the study of the ankle joint has recieved much importance in literature. It is very frequent to analyze the range of dorsiflexion of the ankle because it is thought that an incorrect range of motion can affect the function of the lower limb and the foot, to be more concrete, internal longitudinal arch.
Patients and method: To value the dorsiflexion of the ankle we used the Lunge’s test. To assess the mobility of the medial column, the navicular was measured using the drop and drift navicular tecniques. Foot posture was studied using the Foot Posture Index.
Results: A total of 57 healthy individuals were included in the study. It’s was found a lineal and inverse relation between the ankle flexion and the flexibility of the medial column. However, no relationship was found between the Foot Posture Index and the Lunge test, but relationship was found with the navicular drop and drift.
Conclusion: The present study has found a correlation between the range of ankle dorsiflexion and medial column stability measured clinically, and between foot position and medial column stability in healthy subjects. Finding that the greater the ankle dorsiflexion, there appears to be less flexibility of the medial column.



RESUMEN

Objetivos: Debido a su importancia durante las actividades de carga, el estudio de la articulación de tobillo recibe gran atención en la literatura. Es muy frecuente analizar el rango de flexión dorsal de tobillo, ya que se piensa que una incorrecta movilidad puede afectar a la función de la extremidad inferior y del pie, más concretamente sobre el arco longitudinal interno.
Pacientes y métodos: Para la valoración de la flexión dorsal de tobillo se utilizó el test de Lunge. Para valorar la movilidad de la columna medial se calculó el desplazamiento y el descenso del navicular mediante las pruebas de navicular drop y navicular drift. Para analizar la postura del pie se utilizó el índice de la postura del pie.
Resultados: Se analizaron un total de 57 adultos sanos. Se encontró una relación lineal e inversa entre la flexión de tobillo y la flexibilidad de la columna medial. Respecto al índice de postura del pie no se observó ninguna relación con el test de Lunge, pero sí que influye en la flexibilidad de la columna medial.
Conclusión: El presente estudio ha encontrado correlación entre el rango de flexión dorsal de tobillo y la estabilidad de la columna medial medida clínicamente, y entre la posición del pie y la estabilidad de la columna medial en sujetos sanos. Se ha encontrado que a mayor flexión dorsal de tobillo, parece existir menor flexibilidad de la columna medial.
