functional anatomy of foot Flashcards
bones of the foot
talus calcaneous navicular cuboid cuneiform (med, inter, lat) MT bones
big toes
2 phalanges, others have 3
line thru MT 3 & 4 divides
medial and lateral longitudinal arches
assist in weight bearing
med long arch
calc talus navicular cuneiform first 3 MT's
high arch: distivutes weight from fib to talus
curved line btw the cuneiforms and cuboid and bases of MTs forms
transverse arch: transfers weight from 1 foot to another
lateral longitudinal arch
calc cuboid MT 45 lower and closer to ground weight from leg--> foot and onto the ground
hindfoot
calc & talus
midfoot
navicular
cuboid
cuneiform
forefoot

plantar aponeurosis
central portion of plantar fascia. thick and tough. divides into slips anteriorly 3 compartments: med lat central
