What joint movements occur between the tarsal bones?

The tarsal bones, which include the talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, and cuneiforms, primarily allow for gliding and sliding movements between them. These movements facilitate the complex actions of the foot, such as inversion, eversion, and subtle adjustments during walking and running. The subtalar joint, formed between the talus and calcaneus, is particularly important for enabling inversion and eversion. Additionally, the midfoot joints allow for slight movements that contribute to overall foot stability and flexibility.
