What's Up Docs? · How can you better look after your ankles? · 22 Sep 2026 podcast

Most people will say, oh, it's just bone on the front and all the muscle is kind of on the back.

And a lot of the muscles that look after the ankle do stem into the calf and below into the foot.

That's the one I'd say that most people recognise.

But the other muscles are just as important in terms of the ones that rotate you and the one that flexes you is really important.

So there are people who maybe have nerve conditions that cause like a foot drop

feels like they're dragging the leg around.

And as soon as you lose function of a very vital muscle, it does have quite a big influence.

I wouldn't call it delicate because I think sometimes when you frame an area as, I know we kind of mentioned it as vulnerable and people get more nervous about

maybe less confident about it.

And actually, there is lots we can do to make someone confident and capable in regards to an ankle.

And when they are strong and when people have good awareness of it, it's a very solid joint.

Yeah.

I'd say the most common ankle injury that I see and just generally would be like an outer ankle sprain.

So that's the I stumbled over the edge of a curb or my foot went and it wobbled and I caught myself.

So if you were to rotate your foot inwards on that outer knobbly bit, there's three main ligaments supporting that side of the joint.

The ATFL, that front one, it's the most commonly ruptured one.

So you can pull that and it can essentially snap.

But you can function quite well without it if you are nice and strong and you have what we call proprioception.

So good awareness of your foot position and control with it.

The sprain is referring to the ligament.
