Ankle (talocrural) joint kinematics are characterized by three rockers:

The 1st Law of Fryette states:

If the spine is in a erect neutral or mid-range position, then lateral flexion (side bending) and rotation occur in opposite directions
“Neutral Mechanics” |
|
The 2nd Law of Fryette states:
|
- If spine is in a flexed or extended position, lateral flexion and rotation occur in the same direction.
- “Non-neutral mechanics” - This occurs when there is alteration in th anteroposterior curve into forward flexion or backward bending |

If a segment of the spine is moved into any of the cardinal planes of motion, available motion in the other two planes is reduced.
