MUSCLES OF THE LEG AND FOOT Flashcards
popliteus action
medially rotates leg at knee joint - unlocks knee joint at beginning of knee flexion
popliteus innervation
tibial nerve L4-S1
popliteus medial attachment
posterior surface of tibia - superior to soleal line
popliteus lateral attachment
groove for popliteus muscle
fibularis longus action
-everts foot at subtalar and transverse tarsal joint
-assist in plantarflexion of foot at ankle joint
fibularis longus innervation
superficial fibular nerve L5-S1
fibularis longus inferior attachment
plantar surface of medial cuneiform bone and base of 1st metatarsal bone
