Foot and Toes





Muscles that move them: (Name, Origin, Insertion, Action)

Foot

  • Dorsiflexor:
    • Tibialis anterior – lateral condyle and proximal shaft of tibia – base of 1st metatarsal bone – dorsiflexes ankle Plantar flexors
    • Gastrocnemius – above femoral condyles – calcaneus by way of calcanean tendon – plantar flexes ankle, adducts foot and flexes knee
    • Peroneus – fibula and lateral condyle of tibia – bases of 1st and 5th metatarsal bones – everts foot and plantar flexes ankle
    • Soleus – head and proximal shaft of fibula and adjacent shaft of tibia – calcaneus by way of calcanean tendon – plantar flexes ankle and inverts and abducts foot
    • Tibialis posterior – connective tissue membrane and adjacent shafts of tibia and fibula – tarsal and metatarsal bones – adducts and inverts foot

Toes

  • Flexors:
    • Flexor digitorum – posterior and medial surface of tibia – inferior surface of phalanges, toes 2-5 – flexion at joints of toes 2-5
    • Flexor hallucis – posterior surface of fibula – interior surface and last phalanx of great toe – flexion at joints of great toe
  • Extensors:
    • Extensor digitorum – lateral condyle of tibia and anterior surface of fibula – superior surfaces of phalanges, toes 2-5
    • Extensor hallucis – anterior surface of fibula – superior surface and terminal phalanx of great toe – extension at joints of great toe
