Medially rotates flexed knee Plantaris Assists with plantarflexion of the ankle Where does the Flexor Hallucis Longus Insert at? Distal Phalanx of first toe What muscle inserts at the proximal/posterior aspect of tibia? Popliteus Unlocks the knee by rotating it Popliteus The Soleus Does what? Plantarflexes the ankle without crossing over the knee The Fibularis tertius is distal where? Distal Portion of the fibula The Plantaris is innervated By what nerve? Tibial L4, 5, S1, (2) Abductor Digiti Minimi can flex what? Flex the fifth toe Tibialis Anterior does what to the foot and ankle. Invert the foot and Dorsiflex the ankle Both the fibularis longus and brevis are innervated by? Superficial Fibular L4, 5, S1 Attaches to the distal phalanx of the big toe Flexor hallucis longus Popliteus originates on what part of the femur? Lateral Condyle Attaches to the base of the 5th metatarsal Fibularis brevis The Tibial L4, S1, 2 is the nerve for what muscle? Flexor Hallucis Longus Even though it is located on top of the foot, it helps with extending the toes Extensor digitorum brevis Extensor Hallucis Longus is innervated by what? Deep Fibular L4, 5, S1 This calf muscle crosses the knee joint Gastrocnemius Originating from the distal 2/3 of lateral fibula is what? Fibularis Brevis Ends on the distal phalanges of toes 2–5 Flexor digitorum longus It's located on the medial side (abducts big toe) Abductor hallucis The Extensor digitorum Brevis Originates from where? Dorsal surface of calcaneus Supplied by the nerve of the anterior compartment Tibialis anterior (deep fibular) Assists dorsiflexion and eversion; small anterior muscle. Fibularis tertius Gastrocnemius is on the medial and lateral what? Femoral condyles The Abductor Digiti Minimi inserts where? Proximal Phalanx of fifth toe The Plantaris Originates from what? Lateral supracondylar line of femur What muscle Originates from the Middle/posterior surface of tibia? Flexor Digitorum Longus Deep/behind gastrocnemius and important for posture. Soleus Controlled by the superficial fibular nerve Fibularis brevis Innervated by the same nerve as the gastrocnemius Soleus (tibial nerve) Plantarflexes and inverts the foot. Tibialis posterior It wraps under the foot to help support the arch. Fibularis longus Gastrocnemius & Soleus Inserts where? Calcaneus via calcaneus tendon Tibialis posterior is where on the tibia and fibula? Posterior surface Inserts broadly across the tarsal bones Tibialis posterior The extensor Digitorum Brevis is innervated by what nerve? Deep Fibular L4, 5, S1 What Everts the foot? Fibularis Brevis Extensor hallucis longus does what? Extends the big toe Shares innervation with most posterior leg muscles Flexor hallucis longus (tibial nerve) Inserts onto the heel via a common tendon Soleus Receives signals from the deep fibular nerve Extensor hallucis longus What short muscle flexes toes (not flexor digit longus) Flexor Digitorum Brevis What can flex the 2-5 toes?
