  2. Dorsal interossei of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_interossei_of_the_foot

    The dorsal interossei abduct at the metatarsophalangeal joints of the third and fourth toes. Because there is a pair of dorsal interossei muscles attached on both sides of the second toe, simultaneous contraction of these muscles results in no movement. This arrangement of dorsal interossei makes the second toe the midline of the foot, whereas ...

    The interosseous muscles of the foot are muscles found near the metatarsal bones that help to control the toes. They are considered voluntary muscles. They are generally divided into two sets: 4 Dorsal interossei - Abduct the digits away from the 2nd digit (away from axial line) and are bipennate. 3 Plantar interossei - Adduct the digits ...

    The second dorsal interossei from the medial side of the bone and the third dorsal interossei from the lateral side. The function of the muscle is to spread the toes. [2] The first Plantar interossei muscle originates from the medial side of the base and shaft of the third metatarsal. The function of the muscle is to move the third toe medially ...

  6. Plantar interossei muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_interossei_muscles

    Since the intersseous muscles cross on the metatarsophalangeal joint, then they act on that specific joint and cause adduction of toes III, IV, and V. [1] Adduction itself is not of extreme importance to the toes, but these muscles work together with the dorsal interosseous muscles in flexion of the foot.

  9. Plantar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_plate

    Flexion is primarily performed by intrinsic foot muscles; the second toe (the) is unique as it has two dorsal interossei but no plantar interossei muscles. The lumbrical muscles, attached to the medial side of the lesser toes, act as unopposed adductor, but become insufficient plantar flexors with chronic extension. [5]
