Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

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....

Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

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...

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neuroscience
Pediatric Neurology

Background:

Striatal toe is a rare neurological sign.
It is characterized by abnormal toe flexion.
Its occurrence in adolescents is particularly uncommon.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a case of striatal toe in an adolescent patient.
To identify the underlying cause, specifically an infarct in the lentiform nucleus.
To discuss the differential diagnoses for this clinical presentation.

Main Methods:

Case report.
Clinical examination.
Neuroimaging (e.g., MRI) to identify lentiform nucleus infarct.
Literature review for differential diagnoses.

Main Results:

A case of striatal toe was identified in an adolescent.
The underlying etiology was confirmed as an infarct in the lentiform nucleus.
The clinical presentation and neuroimaging findings are detailed.

Conclusions:

Lentiform nucleus infarct can present as striatal toe in adolescents.
Recognizing this association is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Differential diagnoses should be considered in cases of unexplained toe abnormalities.
