Begin by understanding the anatomy of the foot, which includes the tarsal bones. These bones are located in the hindfoot and midfoot regions.
Recognize that the tarsal bones are part of the skeletal system and play a crucial role in foot movement and stability.
Identify the specific tarsal bones: calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, and the three cuneiform bones (medial, intermediate, and lateral).
Learn that these tarsal bones are organized into two distinct rows: the proximal row and the distal row.
The proximal row includes the talus and calcaneus, while the distal row consists of the navicular, cuboid, and the three cuneiform bones.
