Dorsal surface of calcaneus Assists dorsiflexion and eversion; small anterior muscle. Fibularis tertius It helps "push-off" the big toe during walking. Flexor hallucis longus It's located on the medial side (abducts big toe) Abductor hallucis The Soleus Does what? Plantarflexes the ankle without crossing over the knee The Fibularis tertius is distal where? Distal Portion of the fibula Inserts broadly across the tarsal bones Tibialis posterior Deep/behind gastrocnemius and important for posture. Soleus Where does the Flexor Hallucis Longus Insert at? Distal Phalanx of first toe Inserts onto the heel via a common tendon Soleus This calf muscle crosses the knee joint Gastrocnemius Attaches to the base of the 5th metatarsal Fibularis brevis Plantaris Assists with plantarflexion of the ankle What muscle Originates from the Middle/posterior surface of tibia? Flexor Digitorum Longus What muscle inserts at the proximal/posterior aspect of tibia? Popliteus The Abductor Digiti Minimi inserts where? Proximal Phalanx of fifth toe It wraps under the foot to help support the arch. Fibularis longus Controlled by the superficial fibular nerve Fibularis brevis The Popliteus does what? Medially rotates flexed knee The Plantaris is innervated By what nerve? Tibial L4, 5, S1, (2) Tibialis posterior is where on the tibia and fibula? Posterior surface Extensor Hallucis Longus is innervated by what? Deep Fibular L4, 5, S1 Receives signals from the deep fibular nerve Extensor hallucis longus Ends on the distal phalanges of toes 2–5 Flexor digitorum longus Gastrocnemius is on the medial and lateral what? Femoral condyles Plantarflexes and inverts the foot. Tibialis posterior Shares innervation with most posterior leg muscles Flexor hallucis longus (tibial nerve) The Tibial L4, S1, 2 is the nerve for what muscle?
