  2. Anterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of_leg

    The anterior compartment of the leg is supplied by the deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve), a branch of the common fibular nerve. The nerve contains axons from the L4, L5, and S1 spinal nerves. Blood for the compartment is supplied by the anterior tibial artery, which runs between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles.

    The muscles of internal rotation include: of arm/humerus at shoulder. Anterior part of the deltoid muscle [1] Subscapularis [1] Teres major [1] Latissimus dorsi [1] Pectoralis major [1] of thigh/femur at hip [2] Tensor fasciae latae; Gluteus generalis; Anterior fibers of Gluteus meralis; Adductor longus and Adductor brevis; of leg at knee [3 ...

    The median nerve innervates all the muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm except flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar part of the flexor digitorum profundus. It also innervates the three thenar muscles and the first and second lumbricals. The ulnar nerve innervates the muscles of the forearm and hand not innervated by the median nerve.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff

    Avoiding movement of the shoulder joint allows the torn tendon to fully heal. [24] Once the tendon is entirely recovered, passive exercises can be implemented. Passive exercises of the shoulder are movements in which a physical therapist maintains the arm in a particular position, manipulating the rotator cuff without any effort by the patient ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoid_muscle

    The deltoid muscle is the muscle [1] forming the rounded contour of the human shoulder. It is also known as the 'common shoulder muscle', particularly in other animals such as the domestic cat. Anatomically, the deltoid muscle is made up of three distinct sets of muscle fibers, namely the anterior or clavicular part (pars clavicularis)

    The nerve(s) which tell the muscle to act (innervates the muscle). The term "nerve" is included for clarity. Action The movement performed by the muscle from the standard anatomical position. In other positions, other actions may be performed. Antagonist The muscle which can 'cancel' or to some degree reverse the action of the muscle.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_rotator_group

    All muscles in the lateral rotator group originate from the hip bone and insert on to the upper extremity of the femur. The muscles are innervated by the sacral plexus (L4-S2), except the obturator externus muscle, which is innervated by the lumbar plexus. [2]

    Dorsiflexion of the foot: The muscles involved include those of the Anterior compartment of leg, specifically tibialis anterior muscle, extensor hallucis longus muscle, extensor digitorum longus muscle, and peroneus tertius. The range of motion for dorsiflexion indicated in the literature varies from 12.2 [8] to 18 [9] degrees. [10]
