I:Calcaneus

A: Plantarflexion

O: Medial and lateral condyles of femur

I: Calcaneus

A: Knee flexion and ankle plantarflexion

Seven Short bones found in the midfoot and hindfoot.

The arch that runs from 1st to the 5th metatarsals across the foot is called what?

The distal end of the fibula is called what (landmark)

Name the weight bearing bone of the lower leg

What is the bone directly below the tibia and fibula?

This muscle has to work extra hard to make sure the foot does not slap the ground after each stride when running downhill

These 2 muscles are in the lateral compartment. They help move the foot into eversion. They are commonly strained as a secondary injury to a lateral ankle sprain.

O: distal 2/3 lateral fibula

I: Tuberosity of fifth metatarsal

A:Ankle eversion; assists in plantarflexion

O: proximal 2/3 lateral fibula and interosseous membrane

I: medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal

A: Ankle eversion; assists in ankle plantarflexion

O: Lateral condyle of tibia, lateral tibia and interosseous membrane

I: medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal

A:Ankle inversion and dorsiflexion

O: Posterior middle tibia

I: Distal phalanx of four lesser toes

A: Flexes the four lesser toes; assists in ankle inversion and plantarflexion of the ankle

O: Interosseous membrane, prox post shafts of tibia and fibula

I: 5 tarsals and bases of metatarsals 2-4

A: Ankle inversion; assists in plantarflexion

O: lateral supracondylar line of femur

I: Calcaneus

A: Very weak assist in knee flexion and ankle plantar flexion
