21
Q

What muscles help to strengthen the Medial Longitudinal Arch

A

Q

What is the purpose of the Lateral Longitudinal Arch? When is this structure flattened to the ground?

A

Flatter and rests on ground during standing

Provides balance

24
Q

What two muscles help to maintain the curvature of the Transverse arch?

A

Fibularis longus and tibialis posterior help maintain curvature of arch

25
