‘lower leg’ (tibia, fibula, anterior tibial, fibula, twin muscles, and Achilles tendon), ‘ankle’ (talus, talofibular ligaments and peroneal tendon) and ‘foot’ (sole, cuneiforms and metatarsals); (B2) type of tissue (muscle, bone, ligament or tendon); (B3) pathology type; and (...
The two main bones of the leg are the tibia (‘shin bone’) located medially and the fibula, which is located more laterally. The tibia is the largest of the two, hence it is responsible for weight bearing. Two joints hold the tibia and fibula together (the superior and inferior tibio...
flexibility with stability because of the many bones, their shapes, and their attachments. The lower leg, ankle, and foot have two principal functions: propulsion and support. For propulsion, they act like a flexible lever; for support, they act like a rigid structure that holds up the ...
The relationship between changes in muscle and bone volumes was stronger for moderate than low habitual activity (r2 5 0.20, and 0.3 respectively) - and very strong in the dominant leg of those of high activity status (r2 5 0.56). Whilst the observations that muscle volume is related to ...
The lower leg has a parallel connection with the foot via the hook hinge and two anklebone connecting rods. With the advantage of multiple degrees of freedom, the present invention can furthest realize the humanoid walking of the biped robot. The present invention has the advantages of simple ...
The most important leg perforating veins are the medial calf perforators.16 The posterior tibial perforating veins (“Cockett perforators” in the old nomenclature) connect the posterior accessory GSV with the posterior tibial veins and form the lower, middle, and upper groups. They are located ...
There was no bone involvement in the tumor in the right leg. Coincidentally, MRI showed a bone eroding lesion in the lower left tibia which was low intensity on T1-S, heterogeneously intermediate signal with a low signal peripheral rim on T2. X-ray showed a multilobulated lucent lesion ...
lower leg bone. ;CONSTITUTION: A thigh meat grasping structure 3 is stopped at the front position of a thigh meat peeling device E, the thigh meat grasping structure is made into a closed state and an ankle cutter 50 is moved downward to make cuts around the ankle. A peeling device 51 ...
and it sits on the internal surface of the piriformis muscle—most of the sacral nerves stemming from the sacral plexus exit through the greater sciatic notch. The sciatic nerve forms out of the sacral plexus and can be compressed by the muscle, causing radicular pain down the leg. This form...
But before we get into the most common lower leg injuries for runners, here’s a quick anatomy refresher. The tibia (shinbone) is the large bone of the lower leg, and the fibula is the thin bone along the outer aspect of the lower leg. There are four compartments in the lower leg,...
