What is "arch"?
The arch refers to the curved structure formed by the bones and soft tissues in certain areas, such as the foot or hand. It provides support, shock absorption, and distribution of weight during movement. The most notable arch in the body is the arch of the foot, which consists of the longitudinal arch running along the length of the foot and the transverse arch running across the width. These arches help with balance, stability, and efficient walking or running. Understanding the anatomy and function of arches is important for maintaining proper foot mechanics and preventing foot-related issues.
