S1,S2
the saphenous nerve supplies cutaneous innervation to where?
medial side of the leg to the medial side of the foot
the medial and lateral sural nerves supply cutaneous innervation to where?
the upper calf (lateral side) before joining together to form the sural nerve
the sural nerve supplies cutaneous innervation to where
posterior and lateral leg and lateral foot
the superficial peroneal/fibular nerve supplies cutaneous innervation to where?
dorsum of foot except area between the first two toes
the deep peroneal/fibular nerve supplies cutaneous innervation to where?
area between two toes
what muscles are contained within the deep portion of the posterior osteofascial compartment of the leg?
popliteus
tibialis posterior
flexor digitorum longus
flexor hallucis longus
what muscles are contained within the superficial portion of the posterior osteogascial compartment of the leg?
gastrocnemius
soleus
plantaris
the muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg are innervated by what nerve?
tibial nerve
what muscles make up the triceps surae
gastrocnemius (2 heads)
soleus (1 head)
gastrocnemius
origin
two heads immediately above the two femoral condyles
gastrocnemius
inertion
through the calcaneal tendon to the back of the calcaneus
gastrocnemius
innervation
tibial nerve
gastrocnemius
action
flexor of the leg at the knee
strong plantar flexor of the foot at the ankle
soleus
origin
from the head and upper part of the fibula and from the soleal line of the tibia
soleus
insertion
with the gastrocnemius muscle; through the calcaneal tendon to the back of the calcaneus
soleus
innervation
tibial nerve
soleus
action
assists in plantar flexion
no action at the knee!
-doesnt cross the joint
plantaris
origin
next to the lateral head of the gastrocnemius m on the lateral condyle of the femur
plantaris
insertion
long thin tendon inserts on the medial side of the calcaneus adjacent to the calcaneal tendon
the muscles in the deep portion of the posterior osteofacial compartment are innervated by
tibial nerve
popliteus
origin
inside the capsule of the knee joint
from the lateral side of the lateral condyle of the femur
deep to the lateral collateral ligament
popliteus
insertion
on the back of the tibia above the soleal line
pierces the capsule of the knee joint under the arcuate ligament
popliteus
innervation
tibial nerve
popliteus
action
if the foot is not fixed: medially rotates leg
if the foot is fixed (as if standing on the floor): laterally rotates the femur
when knee is locked - unlocks the locked knee at the beginning of flexion (by rotating tibia relative to the femur)
when the knee is locked - the femur is medially rotated with respect to the leg
tibialis posterior
origin
from the interosseous membrane and adjacent bones
tibialis posterior
progression
from interosseous membrane, crosses between the flexor digitorum longus and tibia to lie adjacent to the medial malleolus, then enters the plantar surface of foot
popliteus
progression
lateral side to medial side across the back of the knee
