  2. Anterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of_leg

    The anterior compartment of the leg is a fascial compartment of the lower leg.It contains muscles that produce dorsiflexion and participate in inversion and eversion of the foot, as well as vascular and nervous elements, including the anterior tibial artery and veins and the deep fibular nerve.

    The range of the ankle motion is also significantly greater in the negative heeled shoes, remaining in dorsiflexion longer throughout the stance and swing phases of gait. The increased duration of dorsiflexion leads to lengthening of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle-tendon units and the length of the moment arm of the Achilles tendon.

  4. Pronation of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronation_of_the_foot

    Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. Composed of three cardinal plane components: subtalar eversion, ankle dorsiflexion, and forefoot abduction, [1] [2] these three distinct motions of the foot occur simultaneously during the pronation phase. [3]

  5. Tibialis anterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_anterior_muscle

    It also functions to 'lock' the ankle, as in toe-kicking a ball, when held in an isometric contraction. [5] [better source needed] The movements of tibialis anterior are dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle. However, actions of tibialis anterior are dependent on whether the foot is weight bearing or not (closed or open kinetic chain). When ...

  6. Lower-limb walking pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower-limb_walking_pattern

    The ankle dorsiflexion is a result of the tibia moving forward over the foot and is facilitated by eccentric control provided by the soleus. [5] [11] Concurrently, the knee reaches full extension and as the heel rises off the ground the ankle begins to plantar flex. The ankle reaches a maximum of 15-20 degrees of plantar flexion right before ...

  7. Gastrocnemius muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrocnemius_muscle

    Along with the soleus muscle, the gastrocnemius forms half of the calf muscle. Its function is plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint and flexing the leg at the knee joint. The gastrocnemius is primarily involved in running, jumping and other "fast" movements of leg, and to a lesser degree in walking and standing.

    Support ankle stability. “Soleus pushups help with ankle stability and balance because when you work on strengthening the soleus muscle, you are working the muscle that helps to keep you upright ...

  9. Fibularis tertius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibularis_tertius

    In human anatomy, the fibularis tertius (also known as the peroneus tertius) is a muscle in the anterior compartment of the leg.It acts to tilt the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body and to pull the foot upward toward the body (dorsiflexion).
