Plantar side of foot has
Plantar aponeurosis
Muscles of dorsum of foot

Extensor digitorum brevis and innervation
Aids in extending medial 4 toes
Deep fibular nerve
Extensor hallucis brevis
portion of the EDB going to the big toe
Deep fibular nerve
Muscles of plantar surface of the foot actions innervation and blood supply
Maintain arches of foot and position big toe
Medial and lateral plantar nerve (from tibial nerve)
Medial and lateral plantar arteries (from posterior tibial artery)
Plantar aponeurosis encloses tendons of
FDL and FDB

Longitudinal
Plantar fasciitis
Excessive wear to the plantar fascia
Most often on the heal
1st muscule later of the plantar surface of the foot muscles and function
Maintain arches
