    Forefoot and Toes

    Uploaded by

    refuapalacky
    This document summarizes the muscles and nerves involved in movements of the forefoot and toes. It describes the muscles responsible for flexion and extension of the toes at the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints. Flexion of the 2nd-5th toes is caused by the lumbrical muscles, while flexion of the big toe is caused by the flexor hallucis brevis muscle. Toe extension is produced by the extensor digitorum longus and brevis muscles and the extensor hallucis brevis muscle. The document also outlines the muscles and nerves involved in toe adduction, abduction, and flexion at the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.
