    Arches of Foot

    1. Arches in the feet help with walking, running, and jumping by providing support and shock absorption. They are made up of bones, muscles, ligaments, and other tissues. 2. There are three main arches in each foot: the medial longitudinal arch, lateral longitudinal arch, and transverse arch. The medial longitudinal arch is the highest and most important arch, and its collapse can cause pes planus (flat feet). 3. The arches are supported by various muscles, ligaments, and tendons working together like the beams and springs of an arch bridge. The medial longitudinal arch in particular relies on the plantar aponeurosis and muscles originating from the lower leg bones.
