Deltoid ligament in the ankle (aka medial)

34
Q

The plantar calcaneonavicular ligament and medial (deltoid) ligaments are found where?

Posterior tibiofibular ligament
Anterior tibiofibular ligament

36
Q

What is the name of the long, thick muscle on the anterolateral surface of the tibia?

A

Tibialis anterior

37
Q

What muscle is responsible for extending the lateral four toe digits?

A

Extensor digitorum longus

38
Q

What muscle fuses with the digitorum longus proximal in the foot but is only variably present?

A

Fibularis tertius

39
Q

What muscle is responsible for extending the big toe?

A

Extensor hallucis longus

40
Q

What relatively large muscle extends the entire lateral side of the fibula?

A

Fibularis longus

41
Q

What muscle is deep to fibularis longus?

A

Fibularis brevis

42
Q

What are the muscles of the posterior compartment?

A

Gastrocnemius
Soleus
Plantaris

43
Q

What are the four deep posterior muscles of the crural compartment?

A

Popliteus
Flexor hallucis longus
Flexor digitorum longus
Tibialis posterior

44
Q

What aspect of triceps surae is indicative of a more limited range of movement in humans compared to chimps?

A

Shorter muscle bellies; also note that the soleus origin is more extensive in humans

45
Q

What is the difference in function of the tibialis anterior and fibularis longus between chimps and humans?

A

Chimps: permit midtarsal break (flexibility)

Humans: enhance midtarsal stability (rigidity)

46
Q

Describe the variation in extant hominid digital flexors in the great apes vs. humans

A

Great apes = flexor digitorum tibialis and fibularis

Humans = flexor hallucis longus

A

Extensor hallucis brevis

Extensor digitorum brevis

48

Describe the variation in the flexor digitorum brevis (small flexor in the foot) between great apes and humans; what does this mean for humans?

A

Great apes: FDB originates on the tendon

A

Human
Arch
Toe

56
Q

Describe the “Windlass” effect on plantar fascia

A

The fascia is pulled taught when toeing off using the MP joint as a windlass/pully

57
Q

Who has a bigger calcaneus, chimps or humans? Why?

A

Humans, because we step with our heels, not the forefoot like chimps do

58
Q

In terms of flexibility vs. rigidity at the midtarsal joint, there is greater ________ with calcaneal inversion, and greater __________ with calcaneal eversion.

A

Rigidity

Flexibility

Flexibility

Rigidity
