E N D
Gastrocnemius • Origin • Medial head medial femoral condyle; • Lateral head lateral condyle • Insertion the Achilles tendon, inserting on the middle 1/3 of the posterior calcaneal surface • Action Powerful plantar flexor of ankle • InnervationTibial nerve (S1, S2)
Soleus • Origin fibular head, Insertion Achilles tendon, inserting on the middle 1/3 of the posterior calcaneal surface • Action Powerful plantar flexor of ankle • Innervation Tibial nerve (S1, S2)
Plantaris • Origin supracondylar line of distal femur • Insertion Middle 1/3 of the posterior calcaneal surface, just medial to Achilles tendon • Action Plantar flexor of ankle; also flexes knee • Innervation Tibial nerve (L5, S1, S2)
Tibialis Posterior • Origin medial fibula, • Insertion 2 • superficial slip inserts on the tuberosity of the navicular bone; • deeper slip plantar sufraces of metatarsals 2 - 4 and second cuneiform • Action Principal invertor of foot • Innervation Tibial nerve (L4, L5)
Flexor Digitorum Longus • Origin Posterior surface of tibia • Insertion Splits into four slips these slips then insert on plantar surface of bases of 2nd - 5th distal phalanges • Action Flexes toes 2 - 5; also helps inversion of ankle • Innervation Tibial nerve
Flexor Hallucis Longus • Origin Inferior 2/3 of posterior surface of fibula, • Insertion Plantar surface of base of distal phalanx of great toe • Action Flexes great toe, helps to invert ankle • Innervation Tibial nerve
Tibialis Anterior • Origin Lateral condyle of tibia, • Insertion 1st cuneiform and on base of first metatarsal • Action Dorsiflexor of ankle • Innervation Deep peroneal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
Extensor Hallucis Longus • Origin Anterior fibula and the interosseous membrane • Insertion Base and dorsal center of distal phalanx of great toe • Action Extends great toe and dorsiflexes ankle • Innervation Deep peroneal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
