Sole it is part of the foot which is also part of the limbs which is very important for walking.
According to the Indonesian Fitness Trainers Association (APKI) the foot has a complex structure made up of 28 bones, 33 joints, 112 legimens, tendons, nerves and blood vessels.
Meanwhile, the soles of the feet have 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and legumes. Therefore, the soles of the feet are an important part of performing any physical activity.
Launching Sports Window magazine Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2017 regarding the relationship between foot arches and agility written by Sahri et al, explained that there are two types of foot shapes, namely normal and abnormal soles.
Sole normal has a concave inside. This condition makes the legs stronger in supporting the weight of the body and in performing movements.
Meanwhile, the soles of the feet are abnormal, the arches of the soles collapse, and all or part of the surface is in contact with the floor. Abnormal soles of the feet are often referred to as flat soles or the Latin for flat feet or pes planus.
Flatfoot is referred to as an abnormal position of the bones, the joint tissue is too flexible, overweight, muscle weakness, compensation for abnormalities of the X leg and foot rotation.
Archs that don’t grow normally can cause balance disturbances, complaints of fatigue when walking for a long time, the heel of the shoe wears out quickly, and overuse injuries with pain.
Sole structure
Since it is part of the foot, the foot is basically divided into three parts, as reported by WebMD, namely:
1. The forefoot contains five toes (phalanges) and five long bones (metatarsi).
2. The midsection is a pyramidal collection of bones that forms the arch of the foot.
3. Finally the back which forms the heel and ankle. The heel bone (calcaneus) is the largest bone in the foot.
While in the soles of the feet there are the so-called intrinsic muscles. Although from the outside it looks like just the ball of the foot, inside the ball of the foot there are four layers containing ten intrinsic muscles.
2. These intrinsic muscles work collectively to stabilize the arch of the foot and control the toes.
Here is the list. As a hint, if there is an ‘A’ it means there are no muscles in the ball of the foot:
Layer 1A
– Plantar aponeurosis
Layer 1
– Flexor digitorum brevis
– Abductor hallucis brevis
– Kidnapper of the little finger
Lapisanus 2a
– Flexor hallucis longus tendon
– Flexor Digitorum Longus tendon
Layer 2
– Lumbrik
– Square plan
Layer 3
– Flexor Digiti Minimi
– Adductor hallucis brevis
– Flexor hallucis brevis
Lapisano 3A
– Long plantar ligament
– Posterior tibialis
– Long fibular
Layer 4
– Plantar interosseous
– Dorsal interosseus
Foot reflex point
Reflexology is one of the treatments for diseases through the central point of the nerves affected to certain organs in the body.
Launching the book Foot Massage for Health by B. Mahendra, the soles of the feet, starting from the tip of the big toe to the heel, are related to all parts of the body.
On the sole of the right foot, parts of the body such as the head, eyes, nose, ears, arms, hands, lungs, kidneys, stomach up to the knees of the right leg and the organs of the liver, gallbladder, appendix and valves of the small intestine are represented.
While the sole of the left foot also represents the left side of the body including the heart, spleen and circular intestine.
Well, that’s the explanation sole and reflexology. So, interested detikers to try?
