The parts of the foot and its functions are unique but can also contribute tocommon foot problems. The many bones, ligaments, and tendons of the foot help you move, but they can also be injured and limit your mobility. This article will give an overview of foot anatomy andfoot problemstha...
Additional Lisfranc joint complex stability is provided by a robust arrangement of ligaments, which provides a foundation for the longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot (Fig. 13). The Lisfranc ligament proper is the strongest component and consists of the interosseous ligament between the medi...

Foot functional index (FFI) and timed up and go test (TUG) were performed by the same educated nurse. Radiographically, the SpA-tarsal radiographic index (TRI) and the calcaneal inclination angle (CIA) were measured by the same physician to assess midfoot and arches. Results FFI subscores ...
In addition to strength and muscle size, minimal footwear may also influence foot morphology because they tend to have a wider toe box than conventional shoes. Habitually minimally shod participants have been found to have significantly higher longitudinal arches than conventionally western shod participan...
buy a dedicated machine, then you can always use some of those hand/foot tools that are designed for self-massage. A good option is the "Foot Rocker," which looks like an X with one arm missing: You place your foot on the platform and roll it back and forth to massage your arches....
The usual indications for foot orthoses are to relieve pressure on areas that are painful, ulcerated, scarred, or callused, to support weak or flat longitudinal or transverse foot arches, and to control foot positions and thus affect the alignment of other lower limb joints. All are concerned...

action where it’s most beneficial, primarily on the arches and toes. Your unit is not malfunctioning, but we understand how it might seem like the heel area should move. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll pass it along to our product development team for consideration in future updates...
Alvarez recommends this popular model because “it combines kneading, rolling and heat functions in a compact design, ideal for stress relief and circulation.” As it focuses predominantly on massaging the arches and heel of the foot — as opposed to the toes — it makes for a...
