Tibialis Anterior
O: Prox ⅔ of Anterior tibia & interosseous membrane and lateral tibial condyle
I: Medial foot - 1st cuneiform and 1st Metatarsal
Dorsiflexion of the foot @ Talocrural (ankle) j; Inversion (supination) of foot @ subtalar joint
Deep Fibular nerve
How to palpate: Tibialis Anterior
Client: seated or supine.
Action: dorsiflexion and inversion
Therapist: look for and then palpate the distal tendon of the TA as it crosses the ankle anteromedially.
Continue proximally on lateral side of the tibia
Make sure client is not extending toe as this will contract the ED and HL
Fibularis Tertius
O: Distal ⅓ of Ant fibula and Interosseous membrane
I: Dorsal surface of base of 5th MT
Dorsiflexion of foot at the Talocrural joint; Eversion (Pronation) of foot at subtalar joint
Deep Fibular nerve
Fibularis Longus
O: Head of the fibula & prox ½ of lateral Fibula
Medial plantar surface of the foot - 1st cuneiform and 1st MT
Eversion of the foot at the subtalar joint
Plantarflexion of the foot at the ankle joint
Superficial Fibular Nerve
MMT 1. Eversion and plantarflexion
2. Half way through the motion add resistance towards dorsiflexion & inversion (hand on plantar surface of foot)
3. Add resistance for the full motion
Fibularis brevis
O: Distal ½ lateral fibula
I: Base of 5th MT
Eversion (pronation) of the foot @ subtalar J; Plantarflexion of foot @ Talocrural Joint
Superficial Fibular Nerve
Gastrocnemius
O: Medial and lateral femoral condyles I: Calcaneus via calcaneal tendon Plantar flexion of the foot @ ankle joint Flexion of the leg @ knee joint Tibial Nerve
