Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes01:28

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Summary

Running on cross-slopes alters foot biomechanics, causing significant kinematic changes in the hindfoot, forefoot, and hallux. These adaptations during incline running may impact injury risk for runners.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Science
  • Human Movement Analysis

Background:

  • Cross-slopes are common running surfaces, yet intra-foot kinematic adaptations are not well understood.
  • Understanding foot motion on inclined terrain is crucial for injury prevention in runners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate kinematic changes within the foot during barefoot running on cross-slopes.
  • To analyze adaptations in the hindfoot, forefoot, and hallux segments.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a three-segment foot model (hindfoot, forefoot, hallux) in nine experienced male runners.
  • Collected kinematic data during level (0°) and cross-slope (10°) running at a moderate speed.
  • Utilized repeated measures MANOVA to analyze foot segment motion relative to the tibia and each other.

Main Results:

  • Increased forefoot dorsiflexion (FF/HF) during incline running down-slope (IRD) compared to level running (LR).
  • Greater hallux extension (HX/FF) at foot strike during incline running up-slope (IRU) versus LR.
  • Significant frontal plane asymmetries in hindfoot motion (HF/TB) and forefoot eversion (FF/HF) were observed between IRU, IRD, and LR conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Running on cross-slopes induces substantial intra-foot kinematic adaptations.
  • The potential injury risk associated with these adaptations for recreational and professional runners requires further investigation.
