  2. Sternohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternohyoid_muscle

    The sternohyoid muscle is a bilaterally paired, [1] long, [1] thin, [1] [2] narrow strap muscle [2] of the anterior neck. [1] It is one of the infrahyoid muscles. It is innervated by the ansa cervicalis. It acts to depress the hyoid bone. The sternohyoid muscle is a flat muscle located on both sides of the neck, part of the infrahyoid muscle group.

  3. Locomotor effects of shoes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locomotor_Effects_of_Shoes

    During gait, high heeled shoes are shown to affect the ankle joint, causing significantly increased plantarflexion. [14] This, in turn, increases the metabolic costs of walking and leads to faster muscle fatigue. Accelerated muscle fatigue may then increase the likelihood of ankle sprains and or falls due to impaired foot and ankle stability. [15]

  4. Infrahyoid muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrahyoid_muscles

    The infrahyoid muscles, or strap muscles, are a group of four pairs of muscles in the anterior (frontal) part of the neck. [1] The four infrahyoid muscles are the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid and omohyoid muscles. [1] Excluding the sternothyroid, the infrahyoid muscles either originate from or insert on to the hyoid bone. [2]

  5. 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.

  6. Human leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leg

    The leg muscles acting on the foot are called the extrinsic foot muscles whilst the foot muscles located in the foot are called intrinsic. [28] Dorsiflexion (extension) and plantar flexion occur around the transverse axis running through the ankle joint from the tip of the medial malleolus to the tip of the lateral malleolus.

  7. Malleolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malleolus

    The lateral malleolus is found at the foot end of the fibula, of a pyramidal form, and somewhat flattened from side to side; it descends to a lower level than the medial malleolus. The medial surface presents in front a smooth triangular surface, convex from above downward, which articulates with a corresponding surface on the lateral side of ...

  8. Peroneal nerve paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroneal_nerve_paralysis

    Peroneal nerve paralysis is a paralysis on common fibular nerve that affects patient’s ability to lift the foot at the ankle. The condition was named after Friedrich Albert von Zenker . Peroneal nerve paralysis usually leads to neuromuscular disorder, peroneal nerve injury, or foot drop which can be symptoms of more serious disorders such as ...

  9. Achilles tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon

    Acting via the Achilles tendon, the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles cause plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle. This action brings the sole of the foot closer to the back of the leg. The gastrocnemius also flexes the leg at the knee. Both muscles are innervated by the tibial nerve. [14]
