Document Summary

The peroneal muscle is pulled when we have an ankle roll. Arches of the foot: there are 4 arches in the foot. Metatarsal arch shaped by the distal heads of the metatarsals. The distal heads are what forms the arch. Transverse arch extends across the transverse tarsal bones to form a half dome and creates an arch. Medial longistudinal arch orginates along the medial aspect of the calcaneous. It runs all the way to the first metatarsal. Planatar calcaneonavicular liagement connects to the calcaneous and the navicular. If you rupture your spring ligament, your arch will drop. The spring ligament is called teh calcaneounavicular ligament. Lateral longitudinal arch is made up the calceous, cuboid and 5th metarsal. Plantar fascia: helps to absorb forces, a thick white band of fibrous tissue originating from the medial aspect of the calcaneous and ends at the distal ends of teh metatarsals.
