JA Russell, RM Shave, DW Kruse… - Foot & ankle …, 2011 - journals.sagepub.com
Background: Female ballet dancers require extreme ankle motion. The objective of this
study was to quantify the relative contributions of the ankle and various foot joints to extreme
plantarflexion (PF) and dorsiflexion (DF) in female ballet dancers using an X-ray
superimposition technique and digital graphics software. Materials and Methods: One
asymptomatic ankle was studied in each of seven experienced female ballet dancers. Three
lateral weightbearing X-rays were taken of each ballet dancer's ankle: en pointe (maximum …
