lower limb
The lower limb refers to the part of the body from the hips down to the feet. It includes the thigh, which contains the femur (the longest bone in the body), the knee joint, the lower leg with the tibia and fibula bones, the ankle joint, and the foot. These structures work together to support your body’s weight, enable movement like walking, running, and jumping, and maintain balance. The lower limb is essential for mobility and stability, allowing you to perform daily activities and navigate your environment efficiently.
