Abstract
This study employed the Tarsal Bone Test (TBT) to gauge the anatomical knowledge of podiatry students regarding the bones of the lower limb. The TBT was administered without prior announcement and lasted for five minutes. Results indicated a high accuracy rate of 96% in identifying all tarsal bones. However, a small percentage (2.6%) of participants struggled to correctly identify the cuboid and navicular bones. Interestingly, there was no significant disparity between the accuracy of first-year and fourth-year students in identifying these bones. Overall, the TBT emerged as a valuable tool for objectively assessing podiatric knowledge across different stages of podiatric education
