[Talocrural angle and ankle joint mobility in Germans and Japanese]. / Talokrural-Winkel und Sprunggelenksbeweglich-keit bei Deutschen und Japanern.

1980 Krämer and Gudat introduced the talo crural angle, which provides exact measurement of the mobility of the ankle joint. In field studies in Germany we found a greater range of mobility in female compared with male persons. With advancing age range of mobility decreased in both sex. Same examinations in Japan were performed to determine influence of genetic and way of life pattern.
