  2. Tibialis anterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_anterior_muscle

    The tibialis anterior muscle is a muscle of the anterior compartment of the lower leg. It originates from the upper portion of the tibia; it inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. It acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot. This muscle is mostly located near the shin. It is situated on the lateral side of the ...

  3. Gastrocnemius muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrocnemius_muscle

    Right leg seen from behind. The gastrocnemius muscle (plural gastrocnemii) is a superficial two-headed muscle that is in the back part of the lower leg of humans. It is located superficial to the soleus in the posterior (back) compartment of the leg. It runs from its two heads just above the knee to the heel, extending across a total of three ...

  4. Foot drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_drop

    The nerve that communicates to the muscles that lift the foot is the peroneal nerve. This nerve innervates the anterior muscles of the leg that are used during dorsiflexion of the ankle. The muscles that are used in plantar flexion are innervated by the tibial nerve and often develop tightness in the presence of foot drop. The muscles that keep ...

  5. Tarsal tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsal_tunnel_syndrome

    Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a nerve compression syndrome or nerve entrapment syndrome causing a painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is entrapped as it travels through the tarsal tunnel. [1][2] The tarsal tunnel is found along the inner leg behind the medial malleolus (bump on the inside of the ankle).

  6. Plantaris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantaris_muscle

    The plantaris is one of the superficial muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg, one of the fascial compartments of the leg. It is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. While not as thick as the achilles tendon, the plantaris tendon (which tends to be between 30–45 centimetres (12–18 in) in length) is ...

  7. Inclusion body myositis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_body_myositis

    Weakness of the tibialis anterior muscle is responsible for foot drop. Another common early symptom is trouble manipulating the fingers, such as difficulty with tasks such as turning doorknobs or gripping keys. Weakness of finger flexion and ankle dorsiflexion occurs early. [1] sIBM also preferentially affects the wrist flexors, biceps, and ...

  8. Extensor digitorum longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_longus...

    It arises from the lateral condyle of the tibia; from the upper three-quarters of the anterior surface of the body of the fibula; from the upper part of the interosseous membrane; from the deep surface of the fascia; and from the intermuscular septa between it and the tibialis anterior on the medial, and the peroneal muscles on the lateral side.

  9. Fibularis muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibularis_muscles

    The muscle group is normally composed of three muscles: fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, and fibularis tertius. [1] The fibularis longus and fibularis brevis are located in the lateral compartment of the leg and are supplied by the fibular artery and the superficial fibular nerve. The fibularis tertius is located in the anterior compartment ...
