The
Metatarus consists
of the five long bones
of the foot, which
are numbered from
the medial side. The
larger of these bones,
the OS metatarsale
1 is the most exposed
and is more likely
to be damaged from
contact by a heavy
load.
This
bone is the metatarsal
attached to the “great
toe” or big
toe and the bone that
is responsible for
distribution of weight
when walking.
The remaining four
bones, OS metatarsale
2 - 5 are attached
in turn to the remaining
four toes of the foot
and assist with balance
when walking.
These
bones are protected
by the Kanga Tuff-
MetGuard to reduce
or prevent injury. |
