answer
Athletic trainers use the mnemonic device "Tom, Dick, And Harry" to remember the location of tissues on the medial side of the ankle, from anterior to posterior. “T” corresponds to tibialis posterior, “D” corresponds to flexor digitorum longus, “A” corresponds to posterior tibial artery, “N” corresponds to tibial nerve, and “H” corresponds to flexor hallucis longus.
