58
Q

what are foot arches & what are they essential for?

A

arches in our feet formed by bones, ligaments & tendons connected together
-essential for movement, weight bearing & shock absorption

59
Q

what are the 3 distinct arches of the foot

A

-TWO “longitudinal” arches (one on each side)
-ONE “transverse” arch (runs across midfoot)

60
Q
