    You must make sure you are getting the movement from the talocrural joint and not the subtalar joint. Many people can appear to have proper ankle mobility only to have hyper mobile subtalar joints, causing excessive IR at the tibia and knee.

      Thanks for emphasizing that, Tony. SInce I have everything but hyper mobile joints, how does one distinguish between the two?
