Summary 📚

This session covers the anatomical structures and functions of the lower limb, including the bones, arteries, veins, and lymphatic system. It also describes the key movements possible at the hip, knee, and ankle joints, alongside the structure of the foot arches. Understanding these components is essential for analyzing gait and diagnosing related conditions.
