Welcome to my interactive flashcards on ankle range of motion (ROM). These cards are designed to provide visual and textual information about various ankle movements and their normative ROM values. Each card also details the factors that can limit these ranges. To make your learning experience dynamic, the order of these cards is randomised every time you visit or refresh the page. Simply click or tap on a card to flip it and reveal more details.
