The toes are distal to the heel because they are farther away from the origin of the lower leg. To determine distal or proximal, trace the line of the limb from where it attaches to the body. A structure you reach first when tracing that line is proximal.
The heel of the foot is on the DORSAL side of the body.
The posterior curvature of the heel is called the "calcaneal angle" or "Gregoire's angle." This is the angle formed by the intersection of the plantar aspect of the calcaneus and the Achilles tendon. It is an important measurement in evaluating foot alignment and biomechanics.
Plantar fasciitis affects the bottom of the foot, specifically the plantar fascia tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. This condition causes pain and inflammation in this area, particularly near the heel.
Yes, the Babinski reflex is typically elicited by stimulating the sole of the foot. This involves stroking the outer edge of the foot from the heel to the toes, causing the big toe to extend upward and the other toes to fan out.

It's called the sole of the foot. (Other areas on the sole of the foot are specifically called the ball of the foot, the arch of the foot, toes and heel)
The sciatic nerve serves the posterior leg and foot. It can be such a problem that the patient cannot pick up their toes.
Yes. You stand on them. The ball of your foot is the part behind the toes and in front of the heel and arch.
raise the toes of the front foot and push down on the heel brake
