The main action of the ankle joint is to allow dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the foot, as well as some degree of pronation and supination with subtalar and midtarsal joints. 

The term plantar flexion refers to the movement of the foot in a downward motion away from the body.

The joint also acts as a shock absorber as the heel strikes the ground during the first phases of gait.
