1. Identify the Lateral border of the foot.

2. Mark a point halfway between the tip of the little toe and the posterior border of the Calcaneus on the Lateral border of the foot.

3. Identify the prominent subcutaneous tubercle on the base of the fifth metatarsal bone.

4. Grasp the base of the fifth Metatarsal between the tip of the index finger and thumb and note the gliding action at the joint between the fourth and fifth Metatarsal bones when they are moved .

5. Proximal to the base of the fifth and fourth Metatarsals lies the Cuboid bone.

6. Placing the thumb tip on the Cuboid and tip of the index finger on the undersurface of the Cuboid, hold the bone firmly.

7. With the other index finger and thumb grasp the base of the fourth and fifth metatarsals and note the sliding action when they are moved against the Cuboid.

8. Evert the foot against maximal resistance and note the tendon of Peroneus Brevis as it passess to the base of the fifth metatarsal bone.

9. The tendon of Peroneus Brevis passes over the Cuboid bone.
