EHL refers pain to the distal aspect of the 1st metatarsal and great toe, as well as the dorsum of the foot. It may reach up the leg as far as the point.

The extensor hallucis longus muscle is a thin skeletal muscle, situated between the tibialis anterior and the extensor digitorum longus. It extends the big toe and dorsiflects the foot. It also assists with foot eversion and inversion.

2023年10月30日 · Like the name suggests, the main function of extensor hallucis longus muscle is the extension of the big toe (hallux). This action happens in both metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of hallux.

2014年9月18日 · In fact, the big toe is vital in contributing to proper arching of the foot, as well as propulsion (forcing forward movement) and shock absorption. With a standard stride, our toes extend upward when we land to help the foot arch at a higher level, working as a shock absorber.

Origin: Medial surface of fibula and adjacent interosseous membrane of leg. Insertion: Dorsal aspect of base of distal phalanx of great toe. Action: Extends great toe; dorsiflexes foot at ankle joint. Innervation: Deep fibular nerve (L5). Arterial Supply: Anterior tibial artery and perforating branch of fibular artery.

2015年5月20日 · Essentially, both running and walking gait required a certain amount of big toe extension to get through late-stance phase of gait without compensation.

2020年7月23日 · Extensor hallucis longus muscle is a thin muscle that belongs to the anterior leg compartment along with the extensor digitorum longus, tibialis anterior and fibularis tertius muscles. The long muscle that straightens the big toe. The muscle acts across three of the foot joints: the talocrural, metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints.

2024年8月19日 · The toe extension stretch is an effective way to improve dorsiflexion in the great toe. This exercise targets the muscles and tendons around the MTP joint, helping to increase flexibility and reduce stiffness.

2021年8月24日 · ISOMETRIC GREAT TOE EXTENSION This is an isometric strengthening exercise of the big toe extensor muscles. Start by using the opposite heel as resistance for the big toe. Raise your big toe into the heel with maximum effort and hold for 5 to 7 seconds. Muscles Involved: Extensor Hallucis Lon

Great toe extension in weight bearing. You can use the windlass test to examine the amount of toe extension in weight bearing by lifting the big toe and evaluating the impact it has on the arch (Bolga & Malone., 2004).
