Anatomy & Physiology: Muscles—Fibularis (Peroneus) Brevis.

Structure.

  • Origin: body of fibula.
  • Insertion: base of metatarsal V.

Function.

  • Concentric action: plantar flexion; eversion at intertarsal joints.
  • Reverse mover action: evert/pronates talus at subtalar joint.
  • Eccentric action: controls/restrains/decelerates inversion/supination at subtalar joint; ankle dorsiflexion.
  • Isometric action: stabilization of ankle and subtalar joints.
  • Innervation: superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve.
  • Arterial supply: fibular artery.
