Ankle & Foot Flashcards
Gastrocnemius
Medial and lateral condyle of femur
Posterior calcaneus
Knee flexion, ankle plantar flexion
Tibial nerve (S1, S2)
Soleus muscle
Posterior tibia and fibula
Posterior calcaneus
Ankle plantar flexion
Tibial nerve (S1,S2)
Plantaris
Posterior lateral condyle of femur
Posterior calcaneus
Very weak assist in knee flexion and ankle plantar flexion
Tibial nerve (L4, L5, S1)
Tibialis posterior
Interosseous membrane, adjacent tibia and fibula
Navicular and most tarsals and metatarsals
Ankle inversion assists in plantar flexion
Tibial nerve (L5, S1)
Flexor Hallucis Longus
Posterior fibula and interosseous membrane
Distal phalanx of the great toe
Flexes great toe, assist in inversion and plantar flexion of the ankle
Tibial nerve (L5, S1, S2)
Flexor digitorum longus
Posterior tibia
Distal phalanx of four lesser ties
Flexes the four lesser toes; assists in ankle inversion and plantar flexion of the ankle
Tibial nerve (L5, S1)
Tibialis anterior
Lateral tibia and interosseous membrane
First cuneiform and first metatarsal
Ankle inversion and dorsi flexion
Deep fibular nerve (L4, L5, S1)
Extensor hallucis longus
Fibula and interosseous membrane
Distal phalanx of great toe
Extends first toe IP and MTP joints; assists in ankle inversion and dorsiflexion
Deep fibular nerve ( L4, L5, S1)
Extensor digitorum longus
Fibula ,interosseous membrane, tibia
Distal phalanx of four lesser toes
Extends four lesser toes, assists in ankle dorsiflexion
Deep fibular nerve (L4, L5, S1)
Fibularis Longus
Lateral proximal fibula and interosseous membrane
Plantar surface of first cuneiform and metatarsal
Ankle eversion; assist in ankle plantar flexion
Superficial fibular nerve (L4, L5, S1)
Fibularis Brevis
Lateral distal fibula
Tuberosity on base of fifth metatarsal
Ankle eversion; assists in plantar flexion
Superficial fibular nerve (L4, L5, S1)
Fibularis tertius
Distal medial fibula
Tuberosity of base of fifth metacarpal
Assists somewhat in ankle eversion and dorsiflexion
Deep fibular nerve (L4, L5, S1)
