[@Maja-zo5uw]

Dear Mr Webster, thank you so much for making these Videos! I'm a med student from Germany and I have an exam coming up on Monday and your videos have helped soooo much!! I have spent quite some time looking for Videos like these, with good models and I'm happy I found your channel. They are just perfect for visualization of the most important aspects of each part/organ. And I really like your somewhat funny way of teaching, it's so nice. So please keep on making more Videos, I'll be watching them all. And good look with your preparation for your run, take care of that sore soleus muscle :)

[@aliebbers6825]

Thank you for drawing attention to the flipped image and calling out lateral and . Medial sides

[@dcoughla681]

Hi Sam. Another great video. Thanks for supporting MacMillan. One of my favourite charities too. Just want to make some additional points. A flabby Achilles Heel is often a sign of high cholesterol so may be time to get a test. Achilles, the Greek god, was killed by an arrow at the heel. A Gastrocnemius or Achilles strain means stubbornness or fear of change particularly with regard to family or similar relationships.

[@stargazer7358]

Thank you for making learning this interesting

[@noraah4551]

You are the one how makes me loves the anatomy more than i do 😍😍

[@belgas3139]

Wauuu...🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 For one thing, while many people do calf stretches and exercises they don’t think much about developing the front of the shin, tibialis anterior. Which is where walking comes in. The tibialis anterior is a key muscle in walking and a person that walks well probably need not think about working this muscle because proper gait patterns keep tibialis anterior toned and supple. But this blog exists to tell you that you don’t walk correctly. People that stand and walk well create a natural balance between the calf and the front of the shin that allows the achilles tendon to live a fairly uncomplicated life. Instead one of two misalignments is likely to be happening: A hyperextended knee which angles the achilles tendon chronically backwards. Tights hips which pull the knee and shins sideways when walking force the achilles sideways as well. Either of these two factors-hyperextension and tight hips-can lead to a chronically stressed and short achilles tendon that might well break down in an acute situation when you need a burst of speed. Walking, standing and running require the feet to land under the knees, which allows the achilles tendon to work smoothly. instagram.com/p/Bw8og0-n9qA/?igshid=187k27ds09mkz

Why is it that Sam here explains it better? Thanks for the vid

[@LittleRedSlipper]

How in the world can you make yourself run 100 miles when you know how gloriously you’re made? Every time you come down on your foot it’s 250 pounds pounding on that precious foot. It just doesn’t compute.

[@kishorecoelho3186]

Dr Sam. Always enjoy your presentation. I have a grade 2 gastroc strain and the plantaris tendon retracted by 13 cms after an injury. The u/s doesn't mention about the soleus. Does the retracted tendon cause any functional impairment. Have started physio. Difficulty raising the heel. Thanks

[@kerrykeegan]

Excellent Sam Thank you! Can you point me to more of your exercises or methods to strengthen the Tibialis Posterior Muscle Please!

I like your clips.tell me If one had twisted ankle on the calcaneus area several times and was a runner thousands of Kim’s llot of marathons and maybe affected the Achilles tendon..I don’t know..I guess I got an unstable foot for years...what’s best to do? ..I find relief in stretching the calves ...but the pain and instability doesn’t disappear for so long now about 6 -8 years now. I have supinated 🦶 and twisted externally of course ..had also an external meniscus tear on that knee but that is practically cured..quads and hamstrings well trained. Thank you 🙏

[@brodygoalie]

Could you do a vid on the sacrum. I just had an MRI and it's showing a cracked sacrum. Going for a CT scan and bone scan tomorrow morning so that my spine Doctor Mazzafaro can get exact information to see what he needs to do to get me out of pain. I did receive cortisone shots in L4 L5 facet joint area Three weeks ago. It did help but still pain and Inflammation . I am able to get around but I have to take Advil and Tylenol each morning. It's been 10 weeks since my pain started due to the fact I was laying sod and using my right leg and foot as a tamper. Not a smart move. I am 67 plus I was on Prednisone for 11 months due to very bad lung inflammation which is now all cleared up. But I believe Prednisone made my bone density below normal. Will find out tomorrow. Thank you

[@nucleus7896]

great videos! how have you strengthened your achilles?

[@FeedThemCake]

Many years ago I got stung all over by a lot of bees at once, and oddly enough my right lower calf decided to swell up a lot. I thought it would be a temporary thing but all these years later my right calf is still noticeably and measurably girthier than my left; the extra girth feels like it's either fat or fascia since I can pinch it between my fingers while on the other calf not so much. There's also now a spot where that vein you mentioned is permanently visible, but not protruding like a varicose vein. When I run my fingernail over it it feels like it corresponds with an ever so slight cleft, I suspect this is where two neighboring muscles meet. I wonder if the additional girth and tenderness is due to mild necrosis or something? I remain curious and puzzled.

[@jimc7320]

Wow!

[@sibunal7410]

Thank you SOO much 🥺 You've helped a lot in spotting the muscles from models because our institution doesn't have enough of them lying around, so most of us don't get a chance to see them 🥲

[@FrankDoylezw]

Thank you - super helpful video. I did have a question, please: where would you encounter an 'accessory soleus' muscle and does this differ from a soleus with a very low insertion point? Any help gratefully received!

[@SamWebster]

It's a muscle sometimes found between the soleus and tibia. It might attach to the soleus or tibia, and to the calcaneal tendon or calcaneus. It seems to be a remnant of our evolutionary tree and is a little variable anatomically.

[@FrankDoylezw]

This is all very well, but it's hard to understand what consequence this knowledge has and for whom. Anatomy teaching is a bit like explaining a car by labeling its individual parts - which would still hardly make you a mechanic, a driver, or a car salesman. Having named all the parts, all I know is what I had known before - that there's some meat inside of my leg.

[@SamWebster]

Once you know the names of the parts of the car, you can explain to another mechanic the bit that doesn't work.

[@clray123]

Except that in body every function seems to be accomplished by big groups of parts all working together... and it's these relationships that seem to be mostly missing from anatomy lessons (or textbooks). So it would be a lot more interesting to hear case studies from the "it doesn't work" perspective and then explain the parts' interactions in that context (it would give some motivation for learning as well).

[@chriswesley594]

Useful, thank you. But does ANYONE want to make a case for using Latin like this? It means you don't just have to learn anatomy, you have to learn a new feckin langauge. I mean I understand the value of terminological exactitude but really does "dorsal" to a better job than "rear? Once you translate form Laton ti English, it makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE. So yeah - can anyone defend Latin in medicince? Or do we all agree that, medicine, like law would be all the better for dumping the ancient tongue. (except, perhaps, for those who want to seem smarter than they are to the masses they charge highly for their serrvices).
