    What is the function of the tibia?

    Supports body weight and aids in walking.

    How does the fibula differ from the tibia?

    Fibula is lateral and supports ankle stability.

    What are the tarsal bones?

    Include talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, and cuneiforms.

    What is the role of the talus?

    Connects the foot to the lower leg.

    What is the significance of the calcaneus?

    Largest tarsal bone, absorbs impact during walking.

    What defines the ankle joint?

    Complex structure formed by tibia, fibula, and talus.

    What happens during dorsiflexion?

    Foot moves upward towards the shin.

    What is the function of the metatarsal bones?

    Support weight during walking and running.

    How do the phalanges differ in the big toe compared to others?

    Big toe has 2 phalanges, others have 3.

    What is the role of the deltoid ligament?

    Stabilizes the ankle against valgus stress.

    What is the medial longitudinal arch?

    Supports the foot's structure and absorbs shock.

    What occurs if the tibiofibular joint is restricted?

    Dorsiflexion may also be limited.

    What is the primary movement at the subtalar joint?

    Inversion and eversion of the foot.

    What is the significance of the midtarsal joints?

    Facilitate complex foot movements.

    What happens to the arches during weight-bearing?

    They flatten to absorb shock.

    What is pes planus?

    Condition of flat feet due to low arch.

    What is the primary function of the plantar fascia?

    Supports the arch and absorbs shock.

    What defines the distal tibiofibular joint?

    A syndesmosis joint with limited movement.

    What is the role of the cuneiform bones?

    Contribute to the foot's arch and stability.

    What is the primary action of the ankle during walking?

    Facilitates push-off and shock absorption.

    What is the consequence of a high medial longitudinal arch?

    Can lead to conditions like pes cavus.
