What else can I help you with?
What muscles extend the toes?
Extensor digitorum longus (lateral 4 toes), Extensor digitorum brevis (medial 4 toes) and extensor hallucis longus (big toe only)
What is the name of the antagonist to extensor hallucis longus?
flexor hallucis longus, flexor hallucis brevis
Name the muscle that extends the toes?
Extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum brevis
What muscle group is responsible for extension of the big toe?
The flexor hallucis longus flexes the great toe and inverts the foot.
What muscle is known as an extensor the digits?
Extensor digiti minimi, extensor digitorum longus, and extensor hallucis.
What muscles dorsiflex the foot?
Extensor digitorum longus, hallucis longus.The tibialis anterior,extensor hallicus longs, and the extensor digitorium longus
What is the action of the extensor hallucis longus?
Extends hallux, dorsiflexes foot
Which muscle contracts when you stand on your tiptoes?
The Extensor Digitorum Longus (extension of the four lateral toes), and the Extensor Hallucis Longus (extension of the large toe).
What are the synergistic muscles for dorsiflexion of foot?
Dorsiflexion of the foot uses four muscles. These are the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, and the peroneus tertius. The prime mover is the tibialis anterior.
What extends the toes?
extensor hallicus longus
What muscle compartment is responsible for dorsiflexion and toe extension?
The muscle compartment responsible for dorsiflexion and toe extension is the anterior compartment of the leg. This compartment primarily contains the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles, which facilitate the upward movement of the foot at the ankle and the extension of the toes.
What shin muscle flexes the ankle?
The primary muscle responsible for flexing the ankle is the tibialis anterior. This muscle is located in the front of the shin and is responsible for dorsiflexion, which involves lifting the foot upwards towards the shin. Additionally, the extensor digitorum longus and extensor hallucis longus also assist in ankle flexion.
