Reflection
1.
Can I describe the three phases of gait?
2.
Do I understand the role of rearfoot and forefoot joints in the motion
of the foot?
Self-assessed questions
1.
What are the three planes of the foot that describe joint movement
and position?
2.
Describe the movements that occur in the three planes of the foot.
3.
Name the two terms used to describe movement of the foot as a

joint?
5.
Which bones form the medial arch of the foot?
6.
Identify the key components of the three phases of gait.
