Abstract

This chapter discusses ankle joint proprioceptive level after injury, surgery, and rehabilitation from a proprioceptive, neuromuscular control basis. The chapter also includes proprioceptive and kinesthetic consideration after injury/surgery, and therapeutic considerations that optimize ankle and lower extremity function.
