summary of the responses (ankle joint)

[Hamid Katoozian]

Two weeks ago I posted a message requesting information regarding the
mechanical behavior and parameters of the ligaments and muscles of the
ankle joint.
Here is the result of my query:

Joint Dynamics, I.Passive Mechanics", J.Biomech.,V.19, pp.727-735,(1986)

--- Siegler,S. et al., "The Mechanical Characteristics of the Collateral
Ligaments of the Human Ankle Joint", Foot & Ankle, V.8, No.5, pp.234-242
(1988).

Characteristics of the Human Ankle and Subtalar Joint, I.Kinematics"
