26
Q

Ligaments attached to Calcaneocuboid Joint:

A

○ Bifurcated ligaments
○ Calcaneocuboid
ligament
○ Long plantar ligaments

27
Q

● Inflammation of the plantar fascia
● Often caused by an overuse
mechanism
● It may result from running and
high-impact aerobics, especially
when inappropriate footwear is
worn.
● It causes pain on the plantar
surface of the foot and heel.
● The pain is often most severe after
sitting and when beginning to walk
in the morning.

A

Plantar Fasciitis

28

34
Q

The
first metatarsal (1) is
longer than the second
(2), with the others (3, 4,
and 5) of progressively
decreasing lengths, so
that 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5.

A

37
Q

The
second metatarsal is
longer than the first and
