The Foot - Plantar Flashcards
Cutaneous Innervation of plantar surface
Saphenous Lateral dorsal cutaneous Calcaneal branches Medial plantar Lateral plantar
Calcaneal branches supply
heel area
Medial plantar suplies
medial 3 1/2 digits
Lateral plantar supplies
lateral 1 1/2 digits
Deep Fascia
Thicker than dorsal side
Thickening of plantar fascia
Flexor retinaculum
Plantar aponeurosis - deep fascia
Central part of deep fascia
Very thick and strong - prevents injury and supports arches of foot
Longitudinally arranged fibers
Goes from calcaneus to toes
Plantar aponeurosis divides into
five slips - one for each toe that attaches to fibrous digital sheaths
Vertical septa from plantar aponeurosis
divide foor into 3 compartments
Medial, lateral, central
Muscles
4 layers of muscles
Help maintain balance and support arches of foot
First layer
3 muscles

Flexor digitorum brevis
Abductor digiti minimi
Abductor hallucis
