feet Flashcards
abductor digiti minimi
first layer, extends from calcaneus to phalanges
abductor hallucis
first layer, extends from calcaneus to phalanges
flexor digitorum brevis
first layer, extends from calcaneus to phalanges
quadratus plantae
2nd layer first tendon of fdl to calcanues,assisists fdl
lumbricals
2nd layer
extend from fdl tendons
extends pip and dip joints
2nd layer guests
flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus, although not considered plantar muscles
flexor digit minimi brevis
3rd layer plantar muscle
adductor hallucis
3rd layer plantar muscle, transverse and oblique
flexor hallucis brevis
3rd layer two heads cover planter surface of first metatarsal tendons have seamoid bones
“pad” muscles
4th layer 3, 4 & 5
interossei muscles
plantar
“dab” muscles
4th layer interossei muscles
dorsal

hallux vagus
lateral deviation of big toe causes. surrounding tissues swell, inflammation occurs and bursa forms
bursa becomes a bunion
corns are
inflamed areas of thick skin over proximal interphalangeal joints
mallet toe
any of the lateral 4 toes: flexion in the distal IP joint
flexion in the distal IP joint
mallet toe
extension at the MP joint + flexion at the proximal joint
hammer toe
extension at the MP + flexion @ both proximal+distal IP joint
claw tow
deformity of large toe
claw toe
What is the cause of the toe problems?
a consequence of shortened flexor muscles which can override lumbrical function
problems associated with 2nd digit
hammer toe.
hyperextension at metarso-phalangeal joint
middle phalanx is plantarflexed at the proximal interphalangeal joint
distal phalanx is extended
Nerves of the Sole
Tibial nerves divide posterior to medial malleolus into
a) medial and lateral plantar nerves
b) supply all intrinsic muscles of the foot except two dorsum muscles
supply plantar skin
2nd layer of foot
nerve/vascular layer
Medial plantar nerve
Larger of the two terminal branches of tibial nerve
Motor to:
abductor hallucis
flexor digitorum brevis
most medial lumbrical (st digit)
flexor hallucis brevis
always have

made lightly
from hops barley
Lateral plantar nerve
smaller of the two terminal branches of the tibial nerve
