Flex the fifth toe Gastrocnemius is on the medial and lateral what? Femoral condyles The Fibularis tertius is distal where? Distal Portion of the fibula Extensor hallucis longus does what? Extends the big toe Assists dorsiflexion and eversion; small anterior muscle. Fibularis tertius Inserts onto the heel via a common tendon Soleus The Abductor Digiti Minimi inserts where? Proximal Phalanx of fifth toe Popliteus originates on what part of the femur? Lateral Condyle Both the fibularis longus and brevis are innervated by? Superficial Fibular L4, 5, S1 What muscle inserts at the proximal/posterior aspect of tibia? Popliteus The Extensor digitorum Brevis Originates from where? Dorsal surface of calcaneus The Extensor Hallucis Brevis inserts where? Proximal Phalanx of first toe Even though it is located on top of the foot, it helps with extending the toes Extensor digitorum brevis This calf muscle crosses the knee joint Gastrocnemius The Plantaris Originates from what? Lateral supracondylar line of femur The Tibial L4, S1, 2 is the nerve for what muscle? Flexor Hallucis Longus What muscle is the strongest dorsiflexor? Tibialis anterior Unlocks the knee by rotating it Popliteus Receives signals from the deep fibular nerve Extensor hallucis longus Attaches to the distal phalanx of the big toe Flexor hallucis longus It wraps under the foot to help support the arch. Fibularis longus What can flex the 2-5 toes? Flexor Digitorum Longus What muscle Originates from the Middle/posterior surface of tibia? Flexor Digitorum Longus Tibialis Anterior does what to the foot and ankle. Invert the foot and Dorsiflex the ankle The Popliteus does what? Medially rotates flexed knee Attaches to the base of the 5th metatarsal Fibularis brevis Controlled by the superficial fibular nerve Fibularis brevis Inserts broadly across the tarsal bones Tibialis posterior Ends on the distal phalanges of toes 2–5 Flexor digitorum longus Plantarflexes and inverts the foot.
