2022年3月27日 · The foot has three arches: two longitudinal (medial and lateral) arches and one anterior transverse arch (Fig. 1). They are formed by the tarsal and metatarsal bones, and supported by ligaments and tendons in the foot.

2022年6月30日 · Transverse arch. The transverse arch is located in the forefoot and it can be roughly divided into proximal and distal parts.

The transverse arches are strengthened by the interosseous, plantar, and dorsal ligaments, by the short muscles of the first and fifth toes (especially the transverse head of the Adductor hallucis), and by the Peroneous longus, whose tendon stretches across between the piers of the arches.

The human foot has three arches—an inner arch, an outer arch, and a transverse arch that spans the foot from side to side. The transverse arch is made up of the cuboid bone, the three cuneiform bones, and the base of the metatarsal bones.

The arches of the foot, formed by the tarsal and metatarsal bones, strengthened by ligaments and tendons, allow the foot to support the weight of the body in the erect posture with the least weight. They are categorized as longitudinal and transverse arches.

2022年11月9日 · Arches of the foot help in providing upright posture and weight bearing. The human foot has 2 longitudinal (medial and lateral) and 2 transverse arches (anterior and posterior transverse arches) (see Image. Transverse Arches of the Foot).

2010年8月9日 · But what is the transverse metatarsal arch? And what does the research actually tell us about it? The existence of a transverse arch at the metatarsal region would require the pressure to be greatest at the areas beneath the 1 st and 5 th metatarsal heads, and the area of the 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th metatarsal

The posterior transverse arch is composed by greater parts of the tarsus and metatarsus. It’s an incomplete arch because only its lateral end enters into contact with all the earth during standing position.

The transverse arch is an important structural feature of the foot that runs across the width of the foot, perpendicular to the longitudinal arch. It helps distribute weight evenly across the ball of the foot, preventing excessive pressure on any one area.

2019年10月13日 · The transverse arch of the foot is an arch in the coronal plane formed by the three cuneiforms, the cuboid, and the bases of the five metatarsals. They are held together by the deep transverse metatarsal ligaments.
