0 a Latin word meaning "relating to the tibia" (= the large bone at the front of the lower leg), used in medical names and descriptions --
The muscle dorsiflexes the hallux, and acts similar to the tibialis anterior in the weight-bearing leg.
The tibia has only a weak cnemial crest, separated from its outer condyle by a deep narrow groove, the "incisura tibialis".
However, the most accurate antagonist of the tibialis anterior is the peroneus longus.
Weakness is most notable at the iliopsoas, tibialis anterior, and to a lesser extent, hamstring muscles.
Results showed significant increases in activation of tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, soleus, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, medial hamstring, biceps femoris, and gluteus maximus before foot strike.
In the non-weight-bearing leg, the anterior tibialis dorsal flexes the foot and lifts the medial edge of the foot.
The other deep muscles of the leg are flexor digitorum longus and tibialis posterior.
The gastrocnemius and soleus modulate the tibialis anterior to dorsiflex the foot, and finally the intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscles are active.
