Lateromedial and dorsoplantar borders among supplying areas of the nerves innervating the intrinsic muscles of the foot.

The branching patterns of nerves supplying the intrinsic muscles of the foot were analyzed as a basis to confirm the muscle layer structure. Thirty-eight feet of 20 Japanese cadavers were examined in detail in this study. The first dorsal interosseus was innervated by a branch from the deep peroneal nerve as well as a branch of the lateral plantar nerve in 92.1%, the second dorsal interosseus in 10. 5% and the third dorsal interosseus in 2.6%. In three specimens, branches from the deep peroneal nerve innervated the oblique head of the adductor hallucis or the lateral head the flexor hallucis brevis. In addition, branches from the medial and lateral plantar nerves and the deep peroneal nerve formed communication loops in three specimens. The first dorsal interosseus, the oblique head of the adductor hallucis and the lateral head of the flexor hallucis and their innervating nerve branches are closely related within the first intermetatarsal space. Since the tibial part of the first interosseus muscle primordium is occupied in the space during development, the variations of innervation patterns and formation of the communicating nerve loops may be explained by various combinations of the part and the other muscle primordia.

Ramification pattern of the deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve in the human foot

To understand how the oblique and transverse heads of the adductor hallucis muscle of the human foot are phylogenitically and ontogenetically developed, it is essential to know nerve supplies of these two heads of the muscle. In the present study, we dissected seven feet of five Japanese cadavers in detail to clarify the ramification patterns of the deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve by peeling off its epineurium (the nerve fascicle analysis method). We found that the muscular branch to the oblique head of the adductor hallucis muscle directly separated from nerve fascicles constituting the deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve, whereas the muscular branch to the transverse head arose in common with branches which innervated other intrinsic muscles of the foot, i.e., the 2nd and 3rd lumbrical muscles and the 1st and 2nd dorsal interossei muscles. The present study revealed that two heads of the adductor hallucis muscle, the oblique and transverse, had different innervating patterns, suggesting that two heads of the human adductor hallucis muscle develop from different primordia, and not from common ancestors.     

Intramuscular innervations of lower leg skeletal muscles: applications in their clinical use in functional muscular transfer

Purpose

This study aims to investigate nerve distribution patterns of human lower leg skeletal muscles using a modified Sihler’s staining method.

Methods

Sixteen lower leg from eight fresh adult cadavers were used in this study and all the skeletal muscles were dissected. The muscle specimens were classified according to Lim’s classification. The specimens were then stained by further modified Sihler’s staining technique. Data were analyzed according to research results.

Results

After the staining, we found four patterns of nerve distribution in human lower leg muscles: (1) Type 1: single nerve pattern in which the nerve branches into two either running parallel to each other or radiating in a spray pattern (such as the extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, fibularis brevis and flexor hallucis longus). (2) Type 2: double nerve pattern, one being proximal and the other being distal (such as the extensor digitorum longus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus). (3) Type 3: multiple branch pattern (such as the tibialis anterior, fibularis longus, gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis anterior and popliteus).

Conclusion

Our modified Sihler’s staining method is useful for research of large muscles and intramuscular nerves in human. These findings might provide guidance for clinicians for muscle reconstruction surgery.

     

Innervation of the abductor digiti minimi muscle of the human foot: anatomical basis of the entrapment of the abductor digiti minimi nerve

The origin, relationships and innervation of the abductor digiti minimi muscle were determined in 145 human feet, from formaldehyde-fixed cadavers. The muscle arises from both processes of the calcaneal tuberosity, from the plantar aponeurosis and from the septum which separates it from the flexor digitorum brevis muscle. The nerve to the abductor digiti minimi muscle arises next to the origin of the lateral plantar nerve, close to the abductor hallucis muscle, and descends becoming closely related to the medial face of the calcaneus and the deep face of the abductor hallucis muscle. Then, it passes inferiorly through the origin of the quadratus plantae muscle and later divides into two branches for the two heads of the muscle.     

The distal hindlimb musculature of the cat. Patterns of normal use

Chronic recordings were made of electromyographic (EMG) activity, tension, and length of distal hindlimb muscles in six cats performing a variety of normal motor tasks. Muscles studied thoroughly or in part were medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, plantaris, soleus, flexor digitorum brevis, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, peroneus longus, and peroneus brevis. Postural and locomotor activities were examined, as well as jumping, landing, scratching, and paw shaking. In general, muscles could be assigned to traditional groupings (e.g. extensor, flexor) related to the demands of the motor task. Patterns of muscle activity were most often consistent with current understanding of muscle mechanics and neural coordination. However, purely functional distinctions between flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus ("anatomical synergists") were made on the basis of activity patterns. Likewise, the activity of plantaris and flexor digitorum brevis, which are attached in series, was differentiated in certain tasks. The rhythmical oscillatory patterns of scratching and paw shaking were found to differ temporally in a manner consistent with the limb mechanics. In several cases, mechanical explanations of specific muscle activity required length and force records, as well as EMG patterns. Future efforts to study motor patterns should incorporate information about the relationships between muscle activation, tension, length and velocity.

The distal hindlimb musculature of the cat

Summary Chronic recordings were made of electromyographic (EMG) activity, tension, and length of distal hindlimb muscles in six cats performing a variety of normal motor tasks. Muscles studied thoroughly or in part were medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, plantaris, soleus, flexor digitorum brevis, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, peroneus longus, and peroneus brevis. Postural and locomotor activities were examined, as well as jumping, landing, scratching, and paw shaking. In general, muscles could be assigned to traditional groupings (e.g. extensor, flexor) related to the demands of the motor task. Patterns of muscle activity were most often consistent with current understanding of muscle mechanics and neural coordination. However, purely functional distinctions between flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus (anatomical synergists) were made on the basis of activity patterns. Likewise, the activity of plantaris and flexor digitorum brevis, which are attached in series, was differentiated in certain tasks. The rhythmical oscillatory patterns of scratching and paw shaking were found to differ temporally in a manner consistent with the limb mechanics. In several cases, mechanical explanations of specific muscle activity required length and force records, as well as EMG patterns. Future efforts to study motor patterns should incorporate information about the relationships between muscle activation, tension, length and velocity.Abbreviations EDL extensor digitorum longus - FDB flexor digitorum brevis - FDL flexor digitorum longus - FHL flexor hallucis longus - LG lateral gastrocnemius - MG medial gastrocnemius - PB peroneus brevis - PL peroneus longus - PLT plantaris - SOL soleus - TA tibialis anterior - TP tibialis posterior Limbs A ankle - K knee - LF left forelimb - LH left hindlimb - RF right forelimb - RH right hindlimb Step Cycle Phases E₁ first extension, late swing phase prior to footfall - E₂ second extension, early stance phase - E₃ third extension, late stance phase - F flexion, early swing phase
