Describe the three arches of the foot and list their functions
What will be an ideal response?
The medial longitudinal arch runs from the heel to the first toe, the transverse arch runs from the base of the first toe to the base of the fifth toe, and the lateral longitudinal arch runs from the heel to the fifth toe. The three arches form a flexible curved vault that stretches under load and rebounds with an elastic recoil that provides elastic energy and spring to the feet during locomotion. The main functions of the arches are to bend under weight, absorb shock from impact as we walk, and adapt the foot to uneven ground.
