AB The  foot  has  a  wide  range  of  normal  motion,  including  flexion,  extension,  inversion,  and  eversion.  In  addition,  supination  and  pronation  are  part  of  the  normal  range  of  foot  motion.  The  foot  contains  two  arches:  a  longitudinal  arch  (midfoot)  and  a  transverse  arch  (forefoot).  Weight  is  normally  distributed  equally  on  the  forefoot  and  the  heel.  Weight  is  not  equally  distributed  on  the  metatarsal  heads  because  the  first  bears  twice  as  much  weight  as  the  remaining  four.  The  maximum  weight  applied  to  the  foot  occurs  during  the  push-off  phase  of  walking  and  running.
