Lower Leg/Ankle Myology Flashcards
muscles in anterior compartment
tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, extensor digitorum brevis, peroneus tertius
nerve to anterior compartment
deep peroneal nerve
tibialis anterior origin
lateral condyle, proximal 1/2 of lateral surface of tibia
tibialis anterior insertion
medial and planter surface of medial cuneiform and of base of 1st MT
tibialis anterior action
dorsiflexes and inverts ankle
extensor hallucis longus origin
middle 2 quarters of anterior surface of fibula
extensor hallucis longus insertion
base of distal phalanx of great toe
extensor hallucis longus action
extends the MTP and IP joints of great toe
extensor digitorum longus origin
lateral condyle of tibia, proximal 3/4 of anterior surface of body of fibula, interosseus membrane
extensor digitorum longus insertion
4 tendons to digits 2-5 attached to base of middle and distal phalanges
extensor digitorum longus action
extends MTP joints, assists extending IP joints of digits 2-5, dorsiflexes the ankle

superolateral surface of calcaneus
extensor digitorum brevis insertion
4 tendons into proximal phalanx of great toe and long extensor tendons of 2, 3, and 4 digits
extensor digitorum brevis action
toe extension
peroneus tertius origin
distal 1/3 of anterior surface of fibula
peroneus tertius insertion
dorsal surface, base of 5th MT
peroneus tertius action
elevates the base of 5th MT, dorsiflexes, everts foot
muscles in superficial posterior compartment
gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris
insertion for superficial posterior compartment
achilles tendon (posterior calcaneus)
