Why is the foot-ankle complex important at initial contact?*
- A. The foot-ankle complex may affect the lower extremity biomechanics during landings.
- B. During the landing phase, the foot-ankle complex is a key-element that contributes to initially attenuate the landing forces imposed on the body.
- C. Higher plantarflexion angle at initial contact during single-leg landings is associated with increased ankle energy dissipation which may be a mechanical advantage to mitigate the impact forces.
