  2. Tibialis anterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_anterior_muscle

    The movements of tibialis anterior are dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle. However, actions of tibialis anterior are dependent on whether the foot is weight bearing or not (closed or open kinetic chain). When the foot is on the ground, the muscle helps to balance the leg and talus on the other tarsal bones so that the leg is kept vertical ...

  4. Anterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of_leg

    The anterior compartment of the leg is supplied by the deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve), a branch of the common fibular nerve. The nerve contains axons from the L4, L5, and S1 spinal nerves. Blood for the compartment is supplied by the anterior tibial artery, which runs between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_longus...

    It arises from the lateral condyle of the tibia; from the upper three-quarters of the anterior surface of the body of the fibula; from the upper part of the interosseous membrane; from the deep surface of the fascia; and from the intermuscular septa between it and the tibialis anterior on the medial, and the peroneal muscles on the lateral side.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leg

    The muscle dorsiflexes the hallux, and acts similar to the tibialis anterior in the weight-bearing leg. [29] Two muscles on the lateral side of the leg form the fibular (peroneal) group. The fibularis (peroneus) longus and fibularis (peroneus) brevis both have their origins on the fibula, and they both pass behind the lateral malleolus where ...

  7. Soleus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soleus_muscle

    Most soleus muscle fibers originate from each side of the anterior aponeurosis, attached to the tibia and fibula. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Other fibers originate from the posterior (back) surfaces of the head of the fibula and its upper quarter, as well as the middle third of the medial border of the tibia .

    If one leans against a wall with crossed legs (externally/laterally rotated hips) and pushes the pelvis away from the wall (leaning the upper body towards it) sidebending the lumbar spine (i.e.: curving the spine to the side) should be avoided as it stretches the lumbar region rather than the tensor fasciae latae and other muscles which cross ...
