Anatomy & Physiology: Muscles—Adductor Hallucis.
Structure.
- Origin: metatarsals 2-4, ligaments of 3-5 metatarsophalangeal joints, and tendon of peroneus longus.
- Insertion: lateral side of proimal phalanx of great toe.
Function.
- Concentric action: adducts and flexes great toe at metatarsophalangeal joint.
- Reverse mover action: adduction of hallux at MTP; flexion of hallux at MTP.
- Eccentric action: controls/restrains/decelerates abduction and extension of MTP of hallux.
- Isometric action: stabilize hallux at MTP.
- Innervation: lateral plantar nerve.
- Arterial supply: branches of plantar arch.
