Abstract:
One hundred plantar muscles were studied and measured in fifty human fetuses from the 4th to 8th month of intra-uterine life. A reduction in the plantar muscle was observed due to slower development of the belly of muscle in relation to the tendon, which was as one to six (1:6). Mechanisms of reduction in the plantar muscle and in the long palmar muscle were compared in the study (5).
