| Context |
The mid-foot permits abduction and adduction. The forefoot provides flexion and extension. Pronation of the foot (5°) involves coupled dorsi flexion, eversion and abduction (sole turned down). Supination (up to 20°) involves coupled plantar flexion, inversion and adduction (sole turned up). The foot transmits 3 times the body weight during running, through 3 arches (medial, lateral, transverse). The second metatarsal is the keystone of the mid-foot in gait; the first metatarsal in the stance phase.
