What is pointing the toes downward?
Plantar Flexion
What does a normal plantar reflex look like?
It results in flexion of the toes

What is the gastronemius muscle?
The gastronemius muscle is one of the calf muscles and it plantar flexes the foot or flexes the knee.
What is the function of peroneus longus?
In human anatomy, the fibularis longus (also known as peroneus longus) is a superficial muscle in the lateral compartment of the leg, and acts to evert and plantar flex the ankle.
What nerve root tests ankle plantar flexion and eversion?
Plantar flexion is performed by the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, eg gastronemius (mainly) and soleus; other muscles such as plantaris have a weak contribution. The spinal roots are S1 and S2 fibers of the posterior tibial nerve. Foot eversion is performed by the fibularis longus and brevis (both in the lateral compartment of the leg). They are supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve (L5, S1).
What is the function for the Gastonemius muscles?
plantar flexion and knee flexion
What are the 12 body movements?
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, rotation, pronation, supination, inversion, eversion, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, and opposition.
What muscles act in plantar flexion?
popliteus is not involved in plantarflexion...its involved in leg flexion
What muscles are agonists in plantar flexion?
The opposite of plantar flexion is dorsiflexion. Plantar flexion means to increase the angle at the ankle, as in tip-toeing. The muscles involved in dorsiflexion (picking up the toes) are:tibialis anterior muscleextensor hallucis longus muscleextensor digitorum longus muscleperoneus tertius
Where does plantar flexion occur?
Plantar flexion occurs in your feet.
Prime movers of planter flexion of the foot?
extensor digitorum longus, the extensor hallucus longus and the peroneus tertius muscles help dorsi flexiontibialis anterior
Does eversion of the ankle joint move the plantar surface medially?
No. The plantar surface move laterally.
What is an example of pointing the toes?
Plantar flexion
What is the antagonist muscle in ankle plantar flexion?
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
What is foot inversion?
plantar flexion
When you plantar flex a foot what changes occur within the muscles involved?
Plantar flexion is the act of flexing the muscles of the toe and foot toward the sole. the muscles involved in this process are often stretched which for some, can reduce heel pain and the pain caused by flat feet.
