What is a "tarsal"?
A tarsal is one of several small bones that make up the tarsus, which forms the rear part of the foot's structure. Tarsals play a crucial role in providing stability, weight-bearing support, and flexibility to the foot. They help absorb shock and distribute forces during walking, running, and other activities. The tarsal bone's precise arrangement and articulation with other foot bones allow for intricate movements and adaptability to different surfaces. Together, the tarsals contribute to the overall structure, function, and mobility of the foot.
