Exempel på hallucis

• On its lower edge on either side are its lateral and medial processes (serving as the origins of the abductor hallucis and abductor digit minimi).

• In the third layer, the oblique head of adductor hallucis joins the muscle's transversal head on the lateral side of the big toe.

• It also provides motor innervation to flexor hallucis brevis.

• Additional flexion control is provided by the flexor hallucis brevis.

• It flexes the second to fifth toes and is flanked by abductor hallucis and abductor digiti minimi.

• Extensor hallucis longus originates medially on the fibula and is inserted on the first digit.

• These include the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius.

• Medially to adductor hallucis are the two heads of flexor hallucis brevis, below the tendon of flexor hallucis longus.

• The form "hallux" (genitive, "hallucis") currently in use is however a blend word of the aforementioned forms.

• In other words, the flexor hallucis longus arises laterally, while the flexor digitorum longus arises medially.

• Some sources also state that the triceps surae and extensor hallucis longus invert.

• Below the soleus muscle the nerve lies close to the tibia and supplies the tibialis posterior, the flexor digitorum longus and the flexor hallucis longus.

• Adductor hallucis acts as a tensor of the plantar arches and also adducts the big toe and then might plantar flex the proximal phalanx.

• It is at first situated above the abductor hallucis, and then between it and the flexor digitorum brevis, both of which it supplies.

• The flexor hallucis has a medial and a lateral head inserted laterally to the abductor hallucis.
