Notes

    • This simulation shows the motion of the talus within the ankle complex.
    • This simulation shows that the ankle joint has dofs, which are dependent to each other.
      • For example, the full motion simulation shows realistic relationships between the bone segments.
      • On the other hand, the simulation of, for example the isolated internal and external rotations, shows bone collisions that are not physiological.
      • This means that ankle dofs are closely related to each other.
    • The internal rotation of the talus associated to the full motion is also well visualized from that particular dataset.
