Q

Layers of muscle on sole of foot

  1. number of layers
  2. functions
  3. innervation
A
  1. 4 muscular layers
  2. -highly specialized for bipedal locomotion
    • maintain arches of foot
    • assists with standing on uneven ground
    • not used for fine control
  3. innervated by lateral & medial plantar nerves (branches of tibial n.)

    - calcaneus to big toe
    - abducts & flexes big toe
  2. flexor digitorum brevis
    - calcaneus to lateral 4 digits
    - flexes lateral 4 digits
  3. abductor digiti minimi

Q

Layer 2

1. 2 tendons

A
  1. flexor digitorum longus tendon

2. flexor hallucis longus tendon

17
Q

Layer 2

-2 muscles, location, and functions

A
  1. Quadratus plantae
    - calcaneus to tendon of flexor digitorum longus
    - modifies the effect of flexor digitorum longus
    - flexing lateral 4 digits
    - changes direction of force so it is parallel to long axis of foot
  2. Lumbricals
    - tendon of flexor digitorum longus to lateral 4 digits
    - flex MTP joints; extend prox & distal interphalangeal joints
18
Q

Layer 3

  • 3 muscles
  • bones, and functions
A
  1. flexor hallucis brevis
    - cuboid and cuneiforms to big toe
    - flexes big toe
  2. Adductor hallucis
    - metatarsals to big toe
    - adducts big toe; helps to maintain curvature of transverse arch
  3. flexor digiti minimi
    - 5th metatarsal to 5th digit
    - flexes 5th digit
19
Q

Layer 4

-2 muscles, location, function

A
  1. Plantar interossei (3)
    - between toes
    - adducts digits (PAD)
  2. Dorsal interossei (4)
    - between toes
    - abducts digits (DAB)
20
Q

Nerves of dorsal surface of foot (2)

A
  1. superficial fibular m. supplies dorsal skin

2. deep fibular n. supplies dorsal mm. and skin btw 1st & 2nd toes

21
Q

Dorsal m.

Extensor digitorum OINA

A

Extensor digitorum

O-calcaneus, deep part of inferior extensor retinaculum
I- digits 2-4
N- deep fibular n.
A- extends digits 2-4

22
Q

Dorsal m

Extensor hallucis brevis OINA

A

O- calcaneus, deep part of inferior extensor retinaculum
I- big toe
N- deep fibular nerve
A- extends big toe

23
Q

Dorsalus pedis artery

  • continuation of
  • division
  • suuplies
A
  • continuation of anterior tibial artery, supplies the dorsum of foot
  • divides into deep plantar artery & arcuate artery
  • deep plantar a. joins with lateral plantar artery of sole to form the deep plantar arch
  • palpating the dorsalis pedis a. in clincal practice especially in intermittent claudication
