Dorsiflexion of the foot, artwork C016 / 6797
Dorsiflexion of the foot. Artwork of the muscles of the foot from the side, with red arrows showing the direction of movement when flexing the foot in the direction of its upper (dorsal) surface (dorsiflexion). The muscles involved are the tibialis anterior, the extensor hallucis longus, the extensor digitorum longus, and the peroneus tertius. These muscles arise in the lower leg, and extend downwards into the foot. The nerve used is the common peroneal nerve. This is the right foot. For the left foot, see C016/6798

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Dorsiflexion of the foot" showcases a detailed artwork (C016 / 6797) that delves into the intricate muscles of the foot from a side view. Against a pristine white background, this illustration highlights the movement involved when flexing the foot towards its upper surface, known as dorsiflexion. The red arrows elegantly guide our gaze along the path of motion. The key players in this dynamic process are meticulously depicted: tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius. Originating in the lower leg and extending downwards into the foot, these muscles work harmoniously to facilitate dorsiflexion. Their coordinated effort is facilitated by none other than the common peroneal nerve. Presented here is an artistic representation of only one side - specifically showcasing the right foot. For those interested in exploring its counterpart on display for left-foot enthusiasts alike can refer to C016/6798. With elements such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and arthrology at play within this image's narrative framework; it serves as an invaluable resource for understanding normal range of movements and healthy joint function. This cut-out illustration provides insight into tendons and ligaments while shedding light on various aspects related to muscle structure. "Dorsiflexion of the foot" encapsulates both scientific precision and aesthetic appeal – making it an ideal addition to any collection or educational setting seeking to explore human body mechanics with clarity and elegance.
