What muscles does Plantarflex?
The plantaris tendon runs below both the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles to connect directly with the heel bone. This muscle works with the Achilles tendon to flex both the ankle and knee joints, allowing a person to stand on their toes or point their foot in plantar flexion.
What muscles are used to tiptoe?
Plantaris: This long, thin muscle runs along the back of the leg, from the end of the thighbone down to the Achilles tendon. The plantaris muscle works in conjunction with the Achilles tendon to flex your ankle and knee. You use this muscle every time you stand on your tiptoes.
Which muscles would cause dorsiflexion?
The tibialis anterior muscle, found in the anterior compartment of the leg, is the primary muscle that facilitates dorsiflexion of the ankle joint. The peroneus longus and Peroneus Brevis muscles, found in the lateral compartment of the leg, function to facilitate eversion of the ankle joint.
What muscles are involved in eversion of the foot?
Question: What are the primary muscles that control eversion of the foot? Answer: Peroneus longus and Peroneus brevis. These muscles are located on the lateral aspect of the lower leg (Figure 1).
What are the lateral ligaments of the ankle?
The lateral ligaments of the ankle, composed of the anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL), the calcaneo-fibular ligament (CFL) and the posterior talo-fibular ligament.
What muscle inverts and Dorsiflexes the foot?
The anterior compartment receives innervation from the deep fibular nerve, supplied by the anterior tibial artery, and is important in the dorsiflexion of the ankle and extension of the toes. The extensor hallucis longus specifically extends the hallux, dorsiflexes the foot at the ankle, and inverts the foot.
What does the soleus muscle do?
[6] soleus – is located beneath the gastrocnemius muscle in the superficial posterior compartment of the lower leg. Its main function is plantar flexion of the ankle and stabilising the tibia on the calcaneus limiting forward sway. [7] plantaris – is located in the posterosuperficial compartment of the calf.
What is the agonist muscle in dorsiflexion?
Recovery phase
| Joints involved | Action | Agonist Muscle |
|---|---|---|
| Hip | Flexion | Iliopsoas |
| Knee | Flexion | Hamstrings (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus) |
| Ankle | Dorsiflexion | Tibialis anterior |
What muscle Dorsiflexes and Everts?
Fibularis (peroneus) tertius: This muscle originates on the anterior surface of the shaft of the fibula and inserts on the base of the fifth metatarsal bone. It dorsiflexes the ankle and everts the foot.
What muscle is lateral compartment muscles that plantar flex and evert the foot?

What muscle is responsible for ankle eversion?
The lateral compartment is composed of two muscles: the peroneus longus and the peroneus brevis, which produce plantarflexion and eversion of the foot.
What are the 5 ligaments of the lateral?
The talocrural joint receives ligamentous support from a joint capsule and several ligaments, including the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and deltoid ligament. The ATFL, PTFL, and CFL support the lateral aspect of the ankle..
