Tibialis posterior muscle The tibialis posterior is the most central of all the leg muscles, and is located in the deep posterior compartment of the leg.It is the key stabilizing muscle of the lower leg. Blood is supplied to the muscle by the posterior tibial artery, and innervation is via the tibial nerve.he tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle (sometimes called the posterior tibial tendon) descends posterior to the medial malleolus and terminates by dividing into plantar, main, and recurrent components.

Vastus medialis Vastus medialis. The vastus medialis muscle is a part of the quadriceps muscle group, located on the front of the thigh. It is the most medial, or inner, of the quadriceps muscles. It extends the entire length of the thigh. The portion of the muscle that is just above the knee is sometimes referred to as the vastus medialis obliquus, or VMO.

Posterior tibial artery The posterior tibial artery is palpable, or able to be felt, in certain locations. A pulse can easily be detected at the leg's Pimenta point, which is located near the medial malleolus and the Achilles tendon's insertion point. The medial malleolus is the bony projection on the inside of each ankle.

Leg Muscles: Anatomy, Support & Movement Most of the leg muscles are posterior, while the tibialis anterior, in the anterior compartment, produces dorsiflexion of the foot at the ankle. With dosiflexion, the toes are raised and the heel is lowered. That's just the opposite of plantar flexion.esson Summary. In summary, lots of muscles produce movement of the foot and toes. The extrinsic foot muscles are located in the leg, while the intrinsic foot muscles are located in the foot. The gastrocnemius, soleus, fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, tibialis posterior and plantaris all produce plantar flexion.

Chapter 15: The thigh and knee Home > Muscular System > Muscles of the Leg and Foot > Sartorius Muscle. The sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the entire human body. It is a long, thin, band-like muscle found in the anterior region of the thigh. The sartorius functions as an important flexor and rotator of the thigh at the hip joint. The sartorius muscle arises from the anterior superior iliac spine on the lateral edge of the hip bone. From the lateral hip, it descends obliquely across the hip joint and thigh, running medially and inferiorly toward the medial edge of the knee.

Anatomy Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries. The posterior cruciate ligament is located in the back of the knee. It is one of several ligaments that connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shinbone). The posterior cruciate ligament keeps the tibia from moving backwards too far. An injury to the posterior cruciate ligament requires a powerful force. A common cause of injury is a bent knee hitting a dashboard in a car accident or a football player falling on a knee that is bent.

- Tibial Nerve. It is the larger of the 2 terminal branches of sciatic nerve. It nearly bisects the popliteal fossa, from the upper angle to the. lower angle. It leaves the fossa at the lower border of popliteus muscle, where it continues in the posterior compartment of leg, as the. posterior tibial nerve. Muscular branches: to the muscles of the popliteal fossa.

Posterior tibial artery Posterior tibial artery. The posterior tibial artery runs down the leg, just below the knee. It branches off from the popliteal artery and delivers freshly oxygenated blood to the leg's posterior compartment and the bottom portion of the foot. During the course of this blood vessel, it splits into several branches.

Muscles in the Posterior Compartment of the Leg The superficial muscles form the characteristic ‘calf’ shape of the posterior leg. They all insert into the calcaneus of the foot (the heel bone), via the calcaneal tendon. The calcaneal reflex tests spinal roots S1-S2. Subcutaneous calcaneal bursa – lies between the skin and the calcaneal tendon.
