Question | Answer |
dorsiflexion | standing on the heels |
plantar flexion | standing on the toes |
inversion | turning the foot inward so that the plantar surface faces medially |
eversion | turning the foot so that the plantar surface of the foot faces laterally |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What is the origin and insertion of the tibialis anterior? | Origin: lateral epicondyle of the tibia. Insertion:medial cuniform and 1st metatarsal |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What are the actions of the tibialis anterior? | dorsiflexes the foot and inverts the foot |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What is the nerve of the tibialis anterior? | deep fibular nerve |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What is the origin and insertion of the extensor hallicus longus? | Origin: tibia and interosseus membrane. Insertion: big toe |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What are the actions of the extensor hallicus longus? | extends the big toe and dorsiflex foot |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What is the nerve of the extensor hallicus longus? | deep fibular nerve |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What is the origin and insertion of the extensor digitorium longus? | Origin: tibia, interosseus membrane, and fibula. Insertion: four lateral toes. |
ANTERIOR MUSCLE: What are the actions of the extensor hallicus longus? | extend toes and dorsiflex foot |
ANTERIOR MUSCLES: What are the major actions and typical nerve? | Major actions are dorsiflexion of the foot and/or flexion of the toes. Major nerve is the Deep Fibular Nerve. |
LATERAL COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the major actions and the typical nerve? | Major actions are plantar flex and evert the foot. Innervated by the Superficial Fibular Nerve |
LATERAL COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the origin and insertion of the fibularis longus? | Origin: Fibula. Insertion: 1st metatarsal and medial cuniform (on SOLE of the foot) |
LATERAL COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the actions of the fibularis longus? | plantar flexes foot and eversion of the foot |
LATERAL COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the nerve of the fibularis longus? | Superficial Fibular Nerve |
LATERAL COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the origin and insertion of the fibularis brevis? | Origin: fibula. Insertion: 5th metatarsal. |
LATERAL COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the actions of the fibularis brevis? | plantar flexes foot and eversion of the foot |
LATERAL COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the nerve of the fibularis brevis? | Superficial Fibular Nerve |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the major actions and the nerve that innervates them? | Will either do one of two things (or both): plantar flexion of the foot or flex toes. Innervated by the Tibia Nerve. |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the origins of the medial head of the Gastrocnemius? | Medial head: corresponding condyle of the femur and medial part of the capsule of the knee. |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the origins of the lateral head of the Gastrocnemius? | Lateral head: lateral condyle of femur and lateral part of the capsule of the knee. |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the insertion of the medial and lateral heads of the Gastrocnemius? | Calcaneous. |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the actions of the Gastrocnemius? | flex leg (not very well) and plantar flex foot |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the nerve of the Gastrocnemius? | Tibial Nerve |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the origins and insertion of the soleus? | Origin: femur, tibia, and fibula. Insertion: Calcaneous. |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the action of the Soleus? | plantar flex the foot |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the nerve of the Soleus? | Tibial Nerve |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the characteristics of the Plantaris? | It's very small; rapidly contracts; big if you jump; used in reconstructive surgery of the hand |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the origin and insertion of the plantaris? | Origin: femur. Insertion: calcaneous (via a very long tendon). |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What are the actions of the Plantaris? | plantar flex the foot and helps flex the leg at the knee |
POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT MUSCLES: What is the nerve of the Plantaris? | Tibial Nerve |
DEEP GROUP: What are the origins and insertion of the popliteus? | Origin: lateral condyle of the knee, lateral condyle of the femur, and lateral meniscus of the knee joint. Insertion: tibia |
DEEP GROUP: What are the actions of the Popliteus? | medial rotation of the leg and helps flex the knee |
DEEP GROUP: What is the nerve of the Popliteus? | Tibial nerve |
DEEP GROUP: What are the origins and insertion of the Flexor hallicus longus? | Origin: fibula and interosseus membrane. Insertion: big toe (**only post muscle that inserts onto the toe**) |
DEEP GROUP: What are the actions of the Flexor hallicus longus? | flex big toe and helps plantar flex the foot |
DEEP GROUP: What is the nerve of the Flexor hallicus longus? | Tibial nerve |
DEEP GROUP: What are the origins and insertions of the Tibialis Posterior? | Origins: tibia, fibula, and interosseus membrane. Insertions: navicular, cuboid, all 3 cuniforms, metatarsals 2-4. |
DEEP GROUP: What are the actions of the Tibialis Posterior? | plantar flex foot and MAJOR inverter of the foot |
DEEP GROUP: What is the nerve of the Tibialis Posterior? | Tibial nerve |
