Table 3 Rhytms

From: The Glasgow-Maastricht foot model, evaluation of a 26 segment kinematic model of the foot

Name of the rythm

Coupled joints

IP plantar flexion

For each phalanx inter phalangeal joints

MTP plantar flexion1-5

Flexion of all MTP joints is coupled

Metatarsal tranverse arch 1-5

An arch is constructed, that couples the height of the metatarsal heads

Tarsal tranverse arch 1-5

Transverse arch coupling motion of all tarsals

Longitudinal medial arch

Coupling plantar flexion of joints in the first ray

Longitudinal lateral arch

Coupling plantar flexion of Calcaneocuboid joint and TMT5
