so yeah, i just was wondering if anyone had an extra robotic ankle lying around that they don’t need. specifically one that resembles the terminator’s skeletol ankle or perhaps robocop’s. basically one that does not have the ability to roll on you. i don’t have much to trade for it, but i’ll love you forever and ever.

Have you tried yoga? It turns out that ankles are greatly related to knees, thighs, and hips. Working on the alignment of these joints AND strengthening them may help. Also, lifting weights on the cable machines or doing free weights can strengthen ankles because the free movement requires stabilizing muscles to activate. When in doubt, you can always use athletic tape to stabilize.
I hike in sneakers for the reason that I can adjust my steps faster if I feel something wrong, as well as feel the ground better through the tread. As someone who has had multiple very bad sprains during years of acrobatics, I found this was probably the most helpful thing to me. I haven’t had a problem since.

stick with the wooden limb. you’d be closer connected to all your pirate ancestors.
or maybe you could attach the bottom of a pogo stick to your leg and bounce around all day. that sounds pretty fun.
or maybe a taxidermist could fashion you a bear’s paw and you could leave tracks to freak out other hikers. Or maybe a dolphin’s fin and you could be a good swimmer.
that is, unless you could attach rockets to the robotic foot, that’d be super-cool. but you couldn’t stop there. You’d also need a cannon for an arm, like the leader of the Decepticons from TransFormers.
