| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gastrocnemius | O: Lateral+ medial epicondyles of the femur I: Calcaneus via Achilles tendon A: Plantar flexion of ankle or assists flexion of the knee (but not at the same time) |
| Soleus | O: Soleal line of tibia, posterior+ upper shaft of fibula I: Calcaneus via Achilles tendon A: Plantar flexion of ankle (strongest) |
| Plantaris | O: Lateral epicondyle of femur I:Calcaneus via Achilles tendon A:Plantar flexion of ankle, assists flexion of knee |
| Popliteus | O:Lateral condyle of the femur I: Posterior proximal tibial shaft A: "Pops" or 'unlocks' the extended knee to initiate knee flexion by medial rotation |
| Tibialis Posterior | O: Posterior tibia, fibula + interosseous membraneI: Plantar surface of tarsals + metatarsals A: Inversion of foot, plantar flexion of ankle |
| Tibialis Anterior | O:Lateral condyle + shaft of tibia, interosseous membrane I: Base of 1st metatarsals + 1st cuneiform bone medially; plantar surface A: Dorsiflexion of ankle; inversion of foot |
| Peroneus Longus | O: Head + upper lateral shaft of fibula I: Base of 1st metatarsals + 1st cuneiform bone From Lat-> medially (plantar surface) A: Eversion of foot, assists plantar flexion of ankle |
| Peroneus Brevis | O:Lateral lower shaft of fibula 2/3 I: base of 5th metatarsal A: Eversion of foot, assists plantar flexion of ankle |
