It is All About the Foot Part 1: Basic Skeletal Structure
A Plane is More Than for Travel
When talking about planes of the foot, the flat or level surface of
them, you can actually use air travel as a good and logical analogy
when breaking out the three divisions of the foot; the forefoot, the
rearfoot and the midfoot. Picture the forefoot handles take-offs,
the rearfoot (or also called the hindfoot, a term that can be used
interchangeably) handles landings, while the midfoot ties these two
divisions together to create one full fluid plane.

The classic nomenclature of the tarsus consists of the calcaneus,
