AB The  primary  role  of  the  foot  and  ankle  is  locomotion.  Therefore,  it  is  critical  for  the  clinician  treating  disorders  of  the  foot  and  ankle  to  have  the  knowledge  and  understanding  of  the  anatomy  and  biomechanic  principles  of  the  foot  and  ankle.  The  following  is  a  limited  discussion  of  the  biomechanic  principles  governing  the  foot  and  ankle  during  the  gait  cycle.  Once  these  principles  are  familiar  and  understood,  it  will  enable  the  clinician  to  make  diagnoses  of  problems  that  affect  the  anatomy  and  function  of  the  foot  and  ankle.
