Description
[edit | edit source]
The Tibialis anterior (Tibialis anticus) is situated on the lateral side of the tibia; it is thick and fleshy above, tendinous below. The fibers run vertically downward, and end in a tendon, which is apparent on the anterior surface of the muscle at the lower third of the leg. This muscle overlaps the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve in the upper part of the leg.
Variations.—A deep portion of the muscle is rarely inserted into the talus, or a tendinous slip may pass to the head of the first metatarsal bone or the base of the first phalanx of the great toe. The Tibiofasdalis anterior, a small muscle from the lower part of the tibia to the transverse or cruciate crural ligaments or deep fascia.
Origin[edit | edit source]
It arises from:
- Lateral condyle and upper half or two-thirds of the lateral surface of the body of the tibia;
- Adjoining part of the interosseous membrane;
- Deep surface of the fascia;
- Intermuscular septum between it and the Extensor digitorum longus.
Insertion
[edit | edit source]
Medial and under surface of the first cuneiform bone, and the base of the first metatarsal bone.
Nerve[edit | edit source]
Deep Pereonal Nerve (L4, L5, S1)
Artery[edit | edit source]
Anterior Tibial Artery
Function[edit | edit source]
- Dorsal Flexion of the ankle,
- Inversion of the foot
- Adduction of the foot
- Contributor of maintaining the medial arch of the foot
Clinical relevance[edit | edit source]
Pain along the path of this muscle is often referred to as "Shin splints". Also called medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)
Assessment[edit | edit source]
Palpation[edit | edit source]
The client is supine.
Power[edit | edit source]
The action of the tibialis anterior muscle is considerably superior that others three dorsal flextor muscles of the foot, both for the size and for its function that affects the entire foot.
