Study Notes
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.
