What is the function of the foot?
absorb forces
provide a stable base of support

26 total
How many tarsals are in the foot?
7 total
What are the 7 tarsals in the foot?
Talus
Calcaneus
Navicular
Cuboid
Medial
Intermediate
Lateral Cuneiform
How many metatarsals are in the foot?
5 metatarsals
What are the 5 metatarsals in the foot?
big toe
tibialis posterior
tibialis posterior
tibialis posterior
fibularis tertius
how many phalanges in the foot?
14
(foot) Interphalangeal joint
connects the phalange of each toe (1-5)
what is apart of the foots interphalangeal joint?
(DIP) Distal Interphalangeal Joint
(PIP) Proximal Interphalangeal Joint
(foot) Metatarsophalangeal Joint
connects each metatarsal to the phalange
(foot) Tarsometatarsal Joint
connects the tarsals to the metatarsals (aka midfoot)
Transverse tarsal joint
consists of 2 joints
What 2 joints does the Transverse tarsal joint consist of
Calcaneocuboid Joint
Talonavicular Joint
- Both form the transverse arch of the foot
Talocalcaneal Joint
this is the subtalar joint of the foot
Ligaments (foot)
connects the bone to bone to form all of the joints in the foot
Arches (foot)
formed by ligamentous and bony arrangements to assist the foot in
supporting the body and absorb the shock of weight bearing
Transverse Arch
shaped by the metatarsal heads and extended across the transverse tarsal bones to form a half dome
Medial Longitudinal Arch
originates along the medial border of the calcaneus and extends forward to the distal head of the first metatarsal
plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
main supporting ligament, acts as a spring, by returning the arch to its normal position after being stretched
Lateral Longitudinal Arch
Lateral aspect of the foot, follows the same pattern as the medial longitudinal arch
What is the lateral longitudinal arch formed by
the calcaneus, cuboid, and 5th metatarsal
plantar fascia
thick white band of fibrous tissue that supports the foot against downward forces
where does the plantar fascia originate from
the medial aspect of the calcaneus
where does the plantar fascia insert at
the distal heads of the metatarsals
