About Course

Ankle and Foot Anatomy Course Aims to 

This physiotherapy webinar on ankle and foot anatomy is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the structure, function, and biomechanics of the ankle and foot. The webinar will cover the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves that make up the ankle and foot complex, as well as common injuries and conditions that affect this region.

The webinar will begin with an overview of the anatomy of the ankle and foot, including the bones, joints, and ligaments that provide stability and mobility to the lower limb. Participants will learn about the function of each structure and how they work together to support weight-bearing, walking, and running.

The webinar will then cover common injuries and conditions that affect the ankle and foot, such as sprains, strains, fractures, and plantar fasciitis. Participants will learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of these conditions and how to assess and treat them using physiotherapy techniques.

In addition, the webinar will address biomechanical issues that contribute to ankle and foot injuries, such as gait abnormalities, muscle imbalances, and footwear choices. Participants will learn how to identify these issues and develop effective treatment plans to address them.

By the end of the webinar, participants will have a thorough understanding of ankle and foot anatomy and the skills and knowledge necessary to assess and treat common injuries and conditions affecting this region. They will be able to apply this knowledge in their clinical practice to provide effective and evidence-based physiotherapy care to their patients.
