Five central part plantar aponeurosis bundles. The plantar fascia is the thick central portion of the fascia investing the plantar muscles. It extends between the medial process of the tuber calcanei [1] and the proximal phalanges of [citation needed] the toes. It provides some attachment to the flexor muscles of the toes.
Ligaments of the sole of the foot, with the tendons of the peronaeus longus, tibialis posterior and tibialis anterior muscles. The plantar ligaments consist of longitudinal and oblique bands, disposed with less regularity than the dorsal ligaments.
Latin. arcus pedis. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] 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.
Long plantar ligament. Ligaments of the sole of the foot, with the tendons of the Peronæus longus, Tibialis posterior and Tibialis anterior muscles. (Long plantar ligament is bottom label at left.) The long plantar ligament (long calcaneocuboid ligament; superficial long plantar ligament) is a long ligament on the underside of the foot that ...
The plantar calcaneonavicular ligamentous complex is a broad and thick band with three constituent ligaments. These connect the anterior margin of the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus to the plantar surface of the navicular bone. [1][2] Its individual components are the: superomedial calcaneonavicular ligament. [2]
At the metatarsophalangeal joint the plantar plate plays an important role in the foot's weight-bearing function. The plantar plate is attached to the proximal phalanx, to the major longitudinal bands of the plantar fascia, and to the collateral ligaments. Together with the collateral ligaments, it forms a soft tissue box which is connected to ...
Dorsal metatarsal ligaments. Ligaments of the sole of the foot, with the tendons of the peronæus longus, tibialis posterior and tibialis anterior muscles. The ligaments of the foot from the lateral aspect. The dorsal metatarsal ligaments are ligaments in the foot.
The soles of the feet are extremely sensitive to touch due to a high concentration of nerve endings, with as many as 200,000 per sole. [5] This makes them sensitive to surfaces that are walked on, ticklish and some people find them to be erogenous zones. [6] Medically, the soles are the site of the plantar reflex, the testing of which can be ...
