3rd Layer of Intrinsic Plantar Foot Muscles1

3rd Layer of Intrinsic Plantar Foot Muscles1

Overview

3rd layer

Origin

Caution

I have no idea what “lateral cuneiforms” means since I do not know why it is plural and what cuneiforms it actually includes

Insertion

Base of prox phalanx of 1st toe

Innervation

Lateral Plantar N. (deep branch) (S2, S3)1

Action

  • 1st MTP: Flexion1
  • 1st Toe: Adduction1
  • Transverse head: supports transverse arch1
  • Oblique head: Supports longitudinal arch1
