Ankle Stabilization

Quick fact

The ankle bears up to 4 times your body weight during running, yet its stability relies on a split-second interplay of ligaments and muscle reflexes.

You've probably twisted your ankle before, but why do some people seem to roll their ankles easily while others stay rock-solid? The answer lies in the complex stabilization system within your ankle.
