the instrinsic foot Flashcards
what happens when toes are flexed?
toes point towards plantarsurface of the foot
what happens when toes are extended?
toes point away from plantar surface of the foot
what happens during abduction of the toes?
toes are pulled apart
when does adduction of toes occurs?
when the foot/toes are in a relaxed position
what are the intrinsic muscles dorsum of the foot?
- extensor digitorum brevis
- extensor hallucis brevis
what is the function of the intrinsic muscles of the foot?
extension
extensor digitorum brevis inserts onto what?
the middle phalynx of toes 2-4
what is particular about the tendons found on the pinky toe?
it only has one which originates from extensor digitorum longus, since brevis does not insert on the 5th toe.
insertion of extensor hallucis brevis
inserts on the proximal phalynx of the big toe
how many layers of muscle compose the sole of the foot?
4
where are the muscles of the sole of the foot located?
deep to plantar aponeurosis
what is plantar aponeurosis?
though aponeurotic sheet on the plantar surface of the foot which ranges from calcaneus to metatarsalphalangeal joint
what muscles of the intrinsic foot act as passive support to the arches?
the superficial muscles of the sole of the foot
what part of the foot contains quite a bit of subcutaneous fat?
calcaneous
what is the name of the inflammation and tearing of the heal bone which often occurs in runners?
plantar fasciitis
what muscle are found in the first layer of the sole of the foot?
flexor digitorum brevis
abductor digiti minimi
abductor hallucis
in the muscle first layer of the sole of the foot identify the locations of each muscles?
medially: abductor hallucis
central: flexor digitorum brevis
laterally: abductor digiti minimi
who does flexor digitorum brevis travel relative to flexor digitorum longus
in the same manner as FDS and FDP in the arm
FDB sits superficial to FDL. FDB will split and FDL will continue through and insert in distal phalynx
what is the function of FDB?
flexion of the lateral 4 toes
what is the function of abductor digiti minimi
abduction of digit 5
what is the function of abductor hallucis
abduction of hallux
where do the muscles of the first layer of the sole of the foot originate from?
calcaneal tuberosity of calcaneous
what is the 2nd layer of the sole of the foot composed of?
2 tendons ( FHL and FDL) 2 muscles ( lumbricals and quadratus plantae)
the tendons found in the 2nd layer originate from muscles found in which compartment of the leg?
deep posterior compartment
Lumbricals of the sole of the foot
origin
insertion
function?
origin: from the long flexor tendos
insertion: attach on the medial side of the toes (digits 2-5)
function: MTP flexion, IP extension
quadratus plantae
insertion
function
insertion: onto the long flexor tendons
function: offsets the oblique pull of FDL
