It is both a dorsiflexor and
evertor of the foot (Standring).
Electric stimulation and strengthening exercise was applied to ankle
evertor muscles and ankle and toe dorsiflexor muscles.
(1) Conceived initially by Gleich (2) and reconsidered by Koutsogiannis, (3) it is a heel bone wedge osteotomy in which the resulted distal end is displaced medially and, additionally, downward, in order to convert the triceps surae in an invertor of the heel instead of an
evertor in the deformed foot.
A correlation between MLA height and
evertor muscles was found in a study conducted on elite gymnastics.25
Evertor muscle strength compares favorably with shoe height, athletic tape, and three orthoses.
Concentric
evertor strength differences and functional ankle instability: a meta-analysis.
[5] It is postulated that the prophylactic brace did not provide adequate mechanical restraint to the weakened anterior and posterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments, thereby not stabilising the ankle joint, and did not improve the neural firing and subsequent
evertor activation of the injured ankle's proprioceptors, which is similar to the theorisation of Anderson et al.
Eccentric/ concentric ratios at selected velocities for the invertor and
evertor muscles of the chronically unstable ankle.
An examination by a neurologist confirmed high arched feet and champagne bottle-shaped legs, weakness in ankle dorsiflexion and
evertor muscles.
However, success has been achieved in preventing inversion deformity through pre-selection based on
evertor strength.
EVERTOR N legend John Bailey will be the guest of honour at a family fun day in support of a Merseyside children's charity.
