Every ligament has mechanoreceptors that will help the brain to recognize the location where the joint is. Whenever the ankle begins to move over the ligaments, it will send a signal to the brain where it serves to send another signal to allow the opposite muscles to contract and transfer the ankle back to a more convenient position. All of these kinds of elaborate functions happen at a fraction of a second.
