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 :)

I'm Brazilian and I'm so addicted to your videos, you are amazing. I came here to learn about my own problem. I lost dorsiflexion after a hernia L4/L5 two years ago; but it doesn't look like the foot drop video. I have strength and sensibility but my calcaneal doesn't touch the floor when I walk. I tried botox injections, calf, phisioterapy, but didn't work. Also, my Achilles doesn't look shortened in MRI. I'm so lost

Absolutely LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!! For the first time im understanding anatomy. I love how simplified the info is but also really explains where each parts are and how they assist other muscles and tendons. Thank you for you videos!!

[@hillrambler2007]

Very nice anatomy description. Exactly what I was hunting for. I have subscribed to your channel for this reason.

[@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

[@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]

[@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

[@Margics]

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 🙏

What do you recommend to do physical therapy it’s help?

[@diamondsharon3927]

it helps me sooo much in Anatomy😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@imateapot51]

When you rupture the plantaris, it shrivels up and your body gets rid of it eventually. But does it also tear fascia and can the remnants hit nerves? When I did this to my left leg my PT asked me - how can you walk six miles without pain and then you sit with your leg up extended and your leg seizes up in lot of pain. I think they did not believed me. Now I am going through this with my right leg.

Can I post MRA report, along w symptoms for your feedback?

[@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

[@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.

[@joroger927]

sir do videos on layers of foot it's a frequently asked question for our exams

[@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.

[@anaann4193]

Dr. Sam, where do you purchase all the anatomical structures you use to demonstrate your lectures?

So there is no medial compartment of lower leg muscles, perfect bc otherwise it would cause 2 legs to bump against each other when walking: devine human body evolution.

[@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]

[@simonloo1588]

I have a pain on outer soleus when it meet the gastro, just a very small isolated area perpetually whenever i run alot, or even when i walk alot, or on my feet whole day, wonder what the cause of it, and any solution to this pain? i been searching for the answer and went so many PT, massages but it did not help over long time.

[@imateapot51]

Sounds like chronic tendinitis.

[@simonloo1588]

imateapot51 Google on what’s you said . Sound like it. But healing taking so Long and I do admit I did not give time for healing as I can’t stop running for more than 2-3 days max, in fact I run almost everyday. From your understanding , is there any tips to fasten the healing ? I tried most methods but to no good results positively unfortunately

[@imateapot51]

@@simonloo1588 You won't like my advice. I am not a doctor or pt, I teach tennis. But in my life I have had chronic tendinitis and once I had it high up on my achilles tendon. I had a mri done so it was confirmed. If your soleus was injured it would heal faster. The only way to get over tendinitis is to get the rate of repair faster than the rate of damage. You could stop running, and even wrap it up and use crutches to get around - and 4 weeks later it would still hurt, but 8 weeks later if may be better. I would check out some PT's depending on Covid in your area and they can help with the rate of repair. Friction massages, untra sound or what ever they do these days. But you are in charge of limiting the rate of damage. For my achilles injury I did calf stretches all day long.
