2. Sole (foot) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sole_(foot)

   The tendons of several extrinsic foot muscle reach the sole: The tendons of the deep foot flexors in the posterior compartment of the leg, tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and flexor hallucis longus, passes behind the medial malleolus into the sole. The tendon of fibularis longus similarly passes behind the lateral malleolus into ...

3. Abductor hallucis muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductor_hallucis_muscle

   This diagram shows the bottom-most layer of muscles, just under the plantar skin of the foot. The abductor hallucis muscle is located in the medial border of the foot and contributes to form the prominence that is observed on the region. It is inserted behind on the tuberosity of the calcaneus, the flexor retinaculum, and the plantar ...

4. Foot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot

   The foot (pl.: feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates.It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion.In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate [clarification needed] organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws and/or nails.

5. Pes anserinus (leg) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pes_anserinus_(leg)

   The three tendons, from front to back, that conjoin to form the pes anserinus come from the sartorius muscle, the gracilis muscle, and the semitendinosus muscle. [1] [2] It inserts onto the proximal anteromedial surface of the tibia. [2] The pes anserinus is around 5 cm below the medial tibial joint line. [2]

6. Fibularis brevis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibularis_brevis

   The fibularis brevis (bottom-most label) is a muscle of the lower leg and aids in plantar flexion and eversion of the foot. The fibularis brevis arises from the lower two-thirds of the lateral, or outward, surface of the fibula (inward in relation to the fibularis longus) and from the connective tissue between it and the muscles on the front and back of the leg.

7. Plantar fascia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fascia

   The plantar fascia or plantar aponeurosis [1] is the thick connective tissue aponeurosis which supports the arch on the bottom (plantar side) of the foot. Recent studies suggest that the plantar fascia is actually an aponeurosis rather than true fascia.

8. Medial plantar nerve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_plantar_nerve

   The muscular branches supply muscles on the medial side of the sole, including the abductor hallucis, the flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis, and the first lumbrical; those for the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis arise from the trunk of the nerve near its origin and enter the deep surfaces of the muscles; the branch of the flexor hallucis brevis springs from the ...

9. Flexor digitorum brevis muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_digitorum_brevis_muscle

   The flexor digitorum brevis or flexor digitorum communis brevis [1] is a muscle which lies in the middle of the sole of the foot, immediately above the central part of the plantar aponeurosis, with which it is firmly united. Its deep surface is separated from the lateral plantar vessels and nerves by a thin layer of fascia.
