Lecture 17 Flashcards
gastrocnemius action
ankle plantar flexion when knee is extended
raises heel during walking
knee flexion
gastrocnemius PA
medial head: popliteal surface of femur
lateral head: lateral femoral condyle
gastrocnemius DA
calcaneus (via calcaneal/achilles tendon)
gastrocnemius nerve innervation
tibial nerve S1, S2
soleus action
ankle plantar flexion independent of knee position
ankle stabilization
soleus PA
posterior fibula
soleal line and medial tibia
tendinous arch between the bony attachments
soleus DA
calcaneus (via calcaneal/achilles tendon)
soleus nerve innervation
tibial nerve S1, S2
plantaris action
weakly assists gastrocnemius with ankle plantar flexion
plantaris PA
lateral supracondylar line of femur
oblique popliteal ligament
plantaris DA
calcaneus (via calcaneal/achilles tendon)
plantaris nerve innervation
tibial nerve S1, S2
popliteus action
unlocks knee by rotating femur 5 degrees on fixed tibia
medially rotates tibia of unplanted limb
popliteus PA
lateral condyle of femur
lateral meniscus
popliteus DA
posterior tibia, above soleal line
popliteus nerve innervation
tibial nerve L4, L5, S1
flexor hallucis longus action
great toe flexion @ ALL joints
weak ankle plantar flexion
supports medial longitudinal arch
flexor hallucis longus PA
lower posterior surface of fibula
interosseous membrance
flexor hallucis longus DA
base of distal phalanx of great toe
flexor hallucis longus nerve innervation
tibial nerve S2, S3
