This document provides an overview of the anatomy and function of the foot and ankle. It discusses the bones, joints, ligaments and muscles that make up the foot and ankle. Specifically, it details the osteology and arthrology of the foot and ankle bones. It then describes the major muscles responsible for plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion and eversion at the foot and ankle. The document emphasizes that the foot and ankle must adapt instantly to walking surfaces using these muscles and movements.

A complicated model of simplicity that you really think little about
until you have a problem with one.
The Foot and Ankle The foot and ankle must be able to instantly adapt to the surface that you are walking on so that you can get, from point A to point B. The Foot and Ankle Terminology Plantar flexion Dorsi flexion Inversion Eversion The Foot and Ankle: Osteology Your subtopic goes here Interphalangeal joints Metatarso- phalageal joint 1 st cuneiform metatarsals phalanges tarsals The Foot and Ankle: Arthrology & Osteology tibia talus navicular calcaneus fibula lateral malleolus What is an ankle sprain? Sprain= a stretched or torn ligament The Foot and Ankle Sprain from external rotation Ligaments that support the foot & ankle Why do you think that there are so many of them? Myology of the Foot & Ankle Tibialis Anterior Origin Proximal 2/3 of the lateral surface of the tibia and interosseous membrane Insertion Medial and plantar aspects of the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal Innervation Deep branch of the peroneal n. Action Dorsiflexion, inversion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Extensor Hallucis Longus Origin Middle section of the fibula and adjacent interosseous membrane Insertion Dorsal base of the distal phalanx of the great toe Innervation Deep branch of the peroneal n. Action Extension of the great toe, dorsiflexion tidbit Whats in a name? Myology of the Foot & Ankle Extensor Digitorm Longus Origin Lateral condyle of the tibia, proximal 2/3 of the medial surface of the fibula and adjacent interosseous membrane Insertion Splits into 4 tendons that attach to the proximal base of the dorsal surface of the middle and distal phalanges Innervation Deep branch of the peroneal n. Action Extension of all joints of toes 2-5 (MTP, PIP and DIP joints) tidbit Whats in a name? Myology of the Foot & Ankle Peroneus Tertius Origin Distal 1/3 of the medial surface of the fibula and adjacent interosseous membrane Insertion Dorsal surface of the base of the 5 th metatarsal Innervation Deep branch of the peroneal n. Action Dorsiflexion, eversion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Peroneus Longus Origin Lateral condyle of the tibia, head and proximal 2/3 of the lateral surface of the fibula Insertion Lateral surface of the medial cuneiform and plantar base of the 1 st metatarsal Innervation Superficial branch of the peroneal n. Action Eversion, plantar flexion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Peroneus Brevis Origin Distal 2/3 of the lateral surface of the fibula Insertion Styloid process of the 5 th metatarsal Innervation Superficial branch of the peroneal n. Action Plantar flexion, eversion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Gastrocnemius Origin Medial head: posterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle Lateral head: posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle Insertion Calcaneal tuberosity via the Achilles tendon Innervation Tibial n. Action Plantar flexion, flexion of the knee Myology of the Foot & Ankle Soleus Origin Proximal 1/3 of the posterior fibula and fibular head and posterior aspect of the tibia Insertion Calcaneal tuberosity via the Achilles tendon Innervation Tibial n. Action Plantar flexion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Plantaris Origin Lateral supracondylar line of the femur Insertion Medial aspect of the Achilles tendon to insert on the calcaneal tuberosity Innervation Tibial n. Action Plantar flexion, initiates knee flexion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Tibialis Posterior Origin Proximal 2/3 of the posterior aspect of the tibia, fibula, and interosseous membrane Insertion Multiple attachments to every tarsal except the talus, also attaches to the bases of metatarsals 2-4, its the most prominent insertion on the navicular tuberosity Innervation Tibial n. Action Plantar flexion, inversion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Flexor Hallucis Longus Origin Distal 2/3 of the posterior fibula Insertion Plantar surface of the base of the distal phalanx of the great toe Innervation Tibial n. Action Flexion of the great toe, plantar flexion, inversion Myology of the Foot & Ankle Flexor Digitorum Longus Origin Posterior surface of the middle 1/3 of the tibia Insertion By 4 separate tendons to the base of the distal phalanx of the 4 lesser toes Innervation Tibial n. Action Flexion of toes 2-5, plantar flexion, inversion tidbit Whats in a name? Flexor Digitorum Longus Intrinsic muscles of the foot Flexor digitorum brevis ABDuctor Hallucis ABDuctor digiti minimi Dorsal interossei (ABDuctors) Plantar interossei (ADDuctors) Lumbricals Flexor Hallucis Brevis ADDuctor Hallucis Extensor Digiti Minimi Myology of the Foot & Ankle Myology of the Foot & Ankle If you take a look at just part of what happens during gait, the foot and ankle go through many changes and this is a flat surface! heel strike foot flat mid stance
