The Importance of Cuboid Manipulation
January 29th, 2010
Anatomically an important small bone on the outside of the foot just in front of the heel bone is the cuboid. The reason why it is being known as an important part it’s because it acts as a pulley for the tendon of type peroneus longus muscle from the outside of the leg. The tendon passes underneath the cuboid bone on its way to the other side of the foot. It needs to be very stable because it acts as a pulley. It is no use moving when the muscle contracts. It can strain the joints around the cuboid if it does move. A cuboid manipulation is often needed to put the bone back in its place if this does happen.
