Muscles and Arches of the Foot

The muscles that span the medial longitudinal arch of the foot are the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus.
The bones that form the medial longitudinal arch of the foot are the calcaneus, talus, cuneiforms, and the first, second, and third metatarsals.
The peroneus longus muscle runs the length of the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot.
The arches of the feet are maintained by the wedging of the interlocking tarsal and metatarsal bones.
The medial longitudinal arch is concave in non-weight bearing from medial to lateral in the midtarsal and tarsometatarsal areas.
The muscles that help to support the medial longitudinal arch of the foot are the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus.
The bones that form the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot are the calcaneus, cuboid, and the fourth and fifth metatarsals.
The intrinsic muscles of the foot, specifically the flexor digitorum longus, flexor digitorum brevis, and abductor hallucis, run the length of the transverse arch of the foot.
The mechanism that maintains the arches of the feet is the tightening of the ligaments on the plantar aspect of the foot.
The medial longitudinal arch is concave in non-weight bearing from medial to lateral in the midtarsal and tarsometatarsal areas.
The tibialis posterior muscle is responsible for maintaining the medial longitudinal arch of the foot.
The peroneus longus muscle runs the length of the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot.
The medial longitudinal arch is the longest and highest arch of the foot.
The intrinsic muscles of the foot, specifically the flexor digitorum longus, flexor digitorum brevis, and abductor hallucis, contribute to the maintenance of the transverse arch of the foot.
The bones that form the lateral longitudinal arch of the foot are the calcaneus, cuboid, and the fourth and fifth metatarsals.
