Posterior tibial pulse is a pulse that can be felt on the inside (big toe side) of your ankle. It is just below and behind the medial malleolus (that big bony part that sticks out on the inside part of your ankle). Usually felt by a doctor to check how well your peripheral circulation is working.

What is the pulse in your wrist called?
Tibial pulse or more technically the Tibialis posterior pulse.
Where can you found the 11 pulses?
Temporal, Radial, Dorsalis Pedis, Anterior Tibial, Apical pulse, Ulnar pulse, brachial pulse, Carotid pulse, Femoral pulse, Popliteal pulse, Posterior Tibialis pulse.
What are the common foot pulse locations?
the common foot pulse locations are as follows, the posterior tibial artery and the dorsalis pedia artery (or pedal artery)
What is the pulse on the foot?
Dorsalis pedis (top of foot) & Posterior tibial (behind ankle on inside of foot)
What is the pulse in the leg called?
The leg has several pulses. The pulse in the groin fold is the femoral artery. The pulse felt behind the knee is the popliteal pulse. The pulses in the feet are the dorsalis pedis and the posterior tibial pulse.
What are the seven major pulse points?
Dosalis Pedis, Posterior Tibial, Popliteal, Femoral, Carotid, brachial and radial arteries.
What is the normal tibial pulse rate?
A distal pulse should be the same rate as a femoral pulse, carotid pulse, brachial pulse, pedal pulse, or radial pulse. The strength of the pulse may be harder to feel the further away from the heart, but the rate should be the same. One heart, One Pulse Rate. The Normal heart rate/pulse in an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Less of course, in the super healthy athlete.
Where are the pulses of the foot?
As a very distal location, there are not many palpable pulses in foot. Thou the posterior fibular artery (which passes in the medial posterior part of your anckle) might be felt in cases of high heartbeat frequency
What arteries is measured when taking a pulse rate?
Usually the radial artery (wrist), but the brachial (upper arm), carotid (neck), dorsalis pedis (foot), posterior tibial (foot) can be used also.
Which pulse you located behind the medial malleolus?
Tibial
What is the artery palpated on the dorsum of the foot?
In the human, the dorsalis pedis artery is the blood vessel carrying oxygen to the dorsal or upper surface of the foot. To feel or palpate the dorsalis pedis pulse, place the fingers mid foot where the ankle meets the foot. Dorsiflexion (toes up - not pointed down) increases the chances of feeling this pulse.
What are Different methods of checking the pulse?
You can check the pulse in the carotid (neck) or brachial (upper arm) arteries for CPR pulse checks. Other possible locations for checking a pulse are Radial (wrist), Popliteal artery (knee) posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis (foot).
