Anterior Compartment Flashcards
Extensor Digitorum Longus: Origin?
Lateral condyle of tibia, proximal 3/4 of fibula, interosseous membrane
Extensor Digitorum Longus: Insertion?
Middle and distal phalanges of toes 2-5
Extensor Digitorum Longus: Nerve?
Deep fibular nerve (L4,L5)
Extensor Digitorum Longus: Bony Landmarks & Ligaments?
Tibia, fibula, interosseous membrane & Middle and distal phalanges of toes 2-5
Extensor Digitorum Longus: Functional Movement?
Extension of toes (lifting them upward), dorsiflexion of foot
Extensor Digitorum Longus: Resisting the muscle?
Stand beside the patient. Place one hand on the top of their foot and ask them to lift their toes upward against your resistance. Apply gentle pressure to resist the lifting movement.

Extensor Hallucis Longus: Nerve?
Deep fibular nerve (L4, L5)
Extensor Hallucis Longus: Bony Landmarks & Ligaments?
Fibula, interosseous membrane & Base of distal phalanx of great toe
Extensor Hallucis Longus: Functional Movement?
Extension of great toe (lifting it upward), dorsiflexion of foot
Extensor Hallucis Longus: Resisting the muscle?
Stand beside the patient. Place one hand on the top of their foot and ask them to lift their big toe upward against your resistance. Apply gentle pressure to resist the lifting movement.
Tibialis Anterior: Origin?
Lateral condyle and upper half of lateral surface of tibia, interosseous membrane
Tibialis Anterior: Insertion?
Medial cuneiform, base of first metatarsal
Tibialis Anterior: Nerve?
Deep fibular nerve (L4, L5)
