The flexor hallucis longus muscle (FHL) attaches to the plantar surface of phalanx of the great toe and is responsible for flexing that toe. The FHL is one of the three deep muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, the others being the flexor digitorum longus and the tibialis posterior.

Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) is a powerful muscle located on the posterior aspect of the fibula below the deep fascia of the calf. In its own synovial sheath, the tendon passes downwards, deep to the flexor retinaculum, crossing the posterior ankle joint, lateral to flexor digitorum longus.

2023年10月30日 · Flexor hallucis longus muscle is a powerful muscle that comprises the deep layer of the posterior compartment of the leg. It belongs to a group called the deep flexors of the calf, which also include popliteus, flexor digitorum longus and tibialis posterior muscles.

2022年10月19日 · This blog post will cover the best exercises and stretches to help fix Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendonitis. Flexor Hallucis Longus (FHL) is a muscle that is responsible for big toe flexion, foot stability and ankle plantarflexion. Where is the pain located?

2023年8月14日 · The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle is one of the four muscles that compose the deep posterior compartment of the lower limb. The other three deep muscles are the flexor digitorum longus (FDL), tibialis posterior, and popliteus muscles.

2023年4月13日 · The Flexor Hallucis Longus muscle (FHL Tendon) is a long thin muscle whose origin arises from the posterior two-thirds of the fibula before passing around the back of the ankle. As the tendon moves down and through the arch of the foot, it crosses over the Flexor Digitirum Longus (FDL), and this point is known as the Knot of Henry.

The flexor hallucis longus muscle is one of the muscles of the deep part of the posterior compartment of the leg. It is a long, narrow, bipennate type of skeletal muscle.

2024年11月20日 · What is the Flexor Hallucis Muscle? The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) is a muscle in the lower leg that plays a key role in controlling your big toe. It allows you to push off during walking, running, or jumping and stabilizes your foot during movement.

2024年10月24日 · The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle is one of the muscles of the posterior deep compartment of the leg and, along with the flexor hallucis brevis muscle, is involved in the flexion of the hallux (great or first toe). Its tendon passes below t...

The FHL muscle and tendon are important structures that flex the big toe and help maintain rear foot and mid foot stability. In locomotion the FHL acts isometrically to maintain tension and arch support throughout mid stance to toe off during walking and running.
