Abductor digiti minimi attachments
from calcaneal tuberosity to lateral side of proximal phalangeal base of 5th digit
Abductor digiti minimi actions
abducts the 5th digit, flexes the 5th digit
abductor digiti minimi innervation
lateral plantar nerve (S1-2)
Abductor hallucis attachments
from medial calcaneal tuberosity to medial side of proximal phalangeal base of great toe
Abductor hallucis actions
abducts and flexes the great toe
abductor hallucis innervation
medial plantar nerve (L4-5-S1)
Flexor digitorum brevis attachments
from medial process of calcaneal tuberosity to sides of intermediate phalanges of digits 2-5
Flexor digitorum brevis actions
flexes toes (proximal IP)
flexor digitorum brevis innervation:
medial plantar nerve (L4-L5-S1)
quadratus plantae attachments
from medial surface of calcaneus & lateral process of calcaneal tuberosity to long flexor tendons via the flexor digitorum longus
quadratus plantae actions
assists flexor digitorum longus with toe flexion at PIP AND DIP
quadratus plantae innervation
lateral plantar nerve (S1-2)
lumbricals attachments
from tendons of flexor digitorum longus to medial sides of dorsal expansions of digits 2-5
lumbricals actions
flexes proximal phalanges (MTP), and extend IP joints
lumbricals innervation
