  2. Plantar fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fascia

    Five central part plantar aponeurosis bundles. The plantar fascia is the thick central portion of the fascia investing the plantar muscles. It extends between the medial process of the tuber calcanei [1] and the proximal phalanges of [citation needed] the toes. It provides some attachment to the flexor muscles of the toes.

  3. Plantar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_plate

    The plantar plate is firm but flexible fibrocartilage with a composition similar to that found in the menisci of the knee (composed roughly of 75% type-I collagen), and can thus withstand compressive loads and act as a supportive articular surface. Most of its fibers are oriented longitudinally, in the same direction as the plantar fascia, and ...

  4. Plantaris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantaris_muscle

    It is one of the plantar flexors in the posterior compartment of the leg, along with the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. The plantaris is considered to have become an unimportant muscle when human ancestors switched from climbing trees to bipedalism and in anatomically modern humans it mainly acts with the gastrocnemius.

  5. Arches of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arches_of_the_foot

    Latin. arcus pedis. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The arches of the foot, formed by the tarsal and metatarsal bones, strengthened by ligaments and tendons, allow the foot to support the weight of the body in the erect posture with the least weight. They are categorized as longitudinal and transverse arches.

  6. Palmar plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_plate

    Palmar plate. In the human hand, palmar or volar plates (also referred to as palmar or volar ligaments) [1] are found in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal (IP) joints, where they reinforce the joint capsules, enhance joint stability, and limit hyperextension. The plates of the MCP and IP joints are structurally and functionally ...

  7. Plantar fascial rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fascial_rupture

    The plantar fascia is a connective tissue that spans across the bottom of the foot. [1] The condition plantar fasciitis may increase the likelihood of rupture. [2] A plantar fascial rupture may be mistaken for plantar fasciitis or even a calcaneal fracture. To allow for proper diagnosis, an MRI is often needed.

  8. Fascial compartments of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascial_compartments_of_leg

    Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The fascial compartments of the leg are the four fascial compartments that separate and contain the muscles of the lower leg (from the knee to the ankle). The compartments are divided by septa formed from the fascia. The compartments usually have nerve and blood supplies separate from their neighbours.

  9. Palmaris brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmaris_brevis_muscle

    Palmaris brevis muscle is located on the ulnar side of the hand. [1] [2] It arises from the tendinous fasciculi from the transverse carpal ligament and palmar aponeurosis.The muscle fibres are inserted into the skin on the ulnar border of the palm of the hand, [1] and occasionally on the pisiform bone.
