Principles of Functional Exercise

(Ben Green) #1

  1. Weak plantar flexion


For example it points the foot down and out


Origin: 1. Tibia – Lateral condyle



  1. Fibula – A. Head B. Proximal two thirds C. Deep fascia


Insertion: First metatarsal – Base (lateral side) – Medial cuneiform


Common distortions caused by tightness is over-pronation


FIBuLARIS (PERONEuS) BREVIS


Joint Action performed by the Foot



  1. Eversion

  2. Pronation


Joint Action performed by the Ankle



  1. Weak plantar flexion


Origin: Fibula – distal two thirds Intermuscular septum


Insertion: Fifth metatarsal – Base (lateral aspect)


Common distortions caused by tightness is over-pronation


FIBuLARIS (PERONEuS) TERTIuS


Joint Action performed by the Ankle and Foot



  1. Dorsiflexion

  2. Eversion – respectively


For example it points the foot up and out


Origin: Fibula – Distal one third *Intermuscual septum, Interosseous membrane


Insertion: Fifth metatarsal – Base (dorsal aspect)
