Describe two anatomical structures that lift and support the medial arch
What will be an ideal response?
The tibialis posterior muscle lifts and supports the medial arch; its distal tendon inserts on the dorsal surface of the navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms, and base of the second to fourth metatarsal bones. This three-part tendonous insertion lies directly under and supports the calcaneonavicular ligament, which is also called the spring ligament because of the elastic support it provides to the medial arch. .
