The plantaris muscle is one of the muscles that belongs to the superficial posterior compartment of the leg. At its proximal end, the muscle is comprised of a very small belly that originates at the lateral epicondyle of the femur above lateral head of gastrocnemius. Moving distally, the muscle has a very long and thin tendon which extends all the way to its insertion point at the calcaneal tuberosity.
The plantaris muscle is innervated by the tibial nerves. As for functions, the muscle is involved in knee flexion, plantar flexion at the ankle joint. The plantaris is also known as a muscle involved in proprioception.
In the full version of this video, we will look at the following points related to the plantaris muscle:
- origin and insertion;
- innervation;
- functions shown with a 3D model so you can really see how the muscle acts on the Human body;
- clinical notes: we will briefly look at the relevance of the plantaris muscle in reconstructive surgery.
