Bones
Three arches
Medial longitudinal
Lateral longitudinal
Transverse

Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Bones
Calcaneus
Is largest and strongest tarsal bone
Is first through which ground reaction forces are
transmitted
Transmits most of body weight from talus to
ground

Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Bones
Calcaneus
Is protected by a thick fat pad
Attaches to Achilles tendon on posterior aspect

Bones
Metatarsals
Metatarsals and phalanges comprise forefoot
Numbered 1–5; medial to lateral
Two sesamoids are just posterior to first
metatarsal head on plantar surface.

Bones
Phalanges
14 phalangeal bones
1: two
2–5: three each

Joints
Motion terminology
Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion
Occur close to sagittal plane
Inversion and eversion
Occur in frontal plane
Abduction and adduction
Occur in transverse plane

Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Joints
Motion terminology
Pronation and supination
Functional terms
Motion occurs in three planes about an oblique axis
with one degree of freedom.
Terms are typically used in reference to the subtalar
joint.

Joints
Motion terminology—pronation
Open kinematic chain, superior tibiofibular joint, and
calcaneus on talus
Dorsiflexion
Abduction
Eversion

Joints
Motion terminology—supination

calcaneus on talus
Plantarflexion
Adduction
Inversion

Joints
Talocrural
Oblique hinge with one degree of freedom
Medial collateral ligament = deltoid
Lateral collateral ligament
Anterior talofibular
Calcaneofibular
Posterior talofibular

Muscles
Posterior group
Superficial
Gastrocnemius—two-headed, two-joint phasic muscle
Soleus—tonic or slow-twitch, postural muscle
Plantaris—very small, short muscle with long tendon

Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Muscles
Posterior group
Deep
Posterior tibialis—primary decelerator of pronation
Flexor digitorum longus
Flexor hallucis longus
Tarsal tunnel

Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Muscles
Lateral group
Peroneus (fibularis) longus
Has 2x larger in cross-sectional area compared with
brevis
Passes behind lateral malleolus, through a groove on
cuboid, and onto base of first metatarsal
Peroneus (fibularis) brevis
Inserts into base of fifth metatarsal
Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company
Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Muscles
Lateral group
Function as primary everters of ankle and foot
Innervated by superficial peroneal nerve
Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company
Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Muscles
Anterior group
Tibialis anterior
Primary dorsiflexor of ankle
Assists with controlling pronation
Extensor hallucis longus—extend toes, evert ankle
Extensor digitorum longus—extend toes
Peroneus tertius

Function of Muscles and Joints
Arches of the foot
Functions:
Allow foot to adapt to ground
Absorb forces
Provide a weight-bearing surface
Assist and support foot during supination/pronation

Brunnstrom’s Clinical Kinesiology Sixth Edition
Function of Muscles and Joints
Loading of the foot
Weight is distributed 50%–50% between
calcaneus and metatarsal heads.
During gait, heel and great toe experience greatest
amount of force.
