Lábízületi

Lábízületi refers to the joints of the foot. The foot contains numerous small joints that work together to provide support, balance, and mobility for walking, running, and standing. These joints are crucial for adapting to uneven surfaces and absorbing shock.

The most prominent joints in the foot are the ankle joint, which connects the tibia and fibula of the lower leg to the talus bone of the foot, and the subtalar joint, located just below the ankle joint. The ankle joint primarily allows for dorsiflexion (pointing toes up) and plantarflexion (pointing toes down). The subtalar joint is essential for inversion (turning the sole of the foot inward) and eversion (turning the sole of the foot outward), which are vital for balance and gait.

Other important joints include the midtarsal joint, connecting the hindfoot to the forefoot, and the tarsometatarsal joints, which link the tarsal bones to the metatarsals. The metatarsophalangeal joints are where the metatarsals meet the phalanges (toe bones), and the interphalangeal joints are the joints within the toes themselves.

Conditions affecting lábízületi can range from arthritis, which causes inflammation and pain, to sprains and fractures resulting from injury. Overuse, improper footwear, and biomechanical issues can also contribute to pain and dysfunction in these joints. Maintaining flexibility, strength, and proper foot mechanics is important for the health of the lábízületi.
