The document discusses the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot and ankle, including the bones, joints, ligaments, arches, and gait cycle. Key structures mentioned are the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CF), posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), and the windlass mechanism of the plantar fascia during gait. The Coleman block test is also referenced for assessing foot and ankle function.
