Plantar foot muscles

OK, you talked me into it. Let's look at the 4 layers of muscles in the plantar foot (the sole) and see if we can work out what all of these muscles are. And the odd tendon.

Thank you.

[@collinmackey2391]

You taught this 10000X better than my clinical anatomy prof, thank you so much!

[@darkchocolate3122]

Truer words haven't been said☺️☺️

[@stickfigureslauralee]

Seriously he goes in depth but also keeps it concise.

[@LanaLou94]

100,000,000 times better than mine 😅

[@Emadirad]

You taught this to human beings rather than some instructors who seem to be teaching to robots! Thank you so much!

[@hectorheath9742]

Deep respect for the model maker, the foot, and its designer.

[@washingtondlamini3184]

you're funny man,i'm learning a lot from you.May God richly bless you!

[@mo-1214]

bro he is saying we have evolved from monkeys her doesn't believe in god🤣

[@zack_120]

His funniness is the best part of his series

[@Ilovethebush]

@10:45 regarding treatment, barefoot bush walking as rolling the foot on tree branches, logs, fallen ‘rolling pin’ sized branches, rocks are great too

[@ibrahimkhalid2199]

These videos are just superb. I haven't seen a better anatomist in years than this guy. Good job, mate.

[@DanteInferno87]

This makes way more sense than how they taught it in my class. Thank you so much, these videos are amazing!

[@CapitanoDyingByTheSword]

8:59 plantar fasciitis is also caused by bad/old footwear. For example, heeled footwear that provides "technology" that is supposed to help with fitness, running, etc., but instead provides an imbalance in the foot leading to the heel pain described by Sam

[@janetmegerdichian4664]

I just have to say, I have watched many videos and I always come back to yours. You explain everything so perfectly, so THANK YOU!!

[@Ilovethebush]

@8:45 plantar fasciitis may be linked to heel running, as opposed to natural bare-foot running that uses the front pad of the foot and the heel never touches the ground.

[@agnesagni]

I would like to transition to wearing barefoot shoes. I am stunned by the beautiful complexity of the sole of our feet. I wish we wouldn't torture this amazing structure that supports us with putting them into the prison of badly shaped shoes.

[@abhinavajith92]

Just a small slip of the tongue i had to rewind to confirm - at about 21:35 you said the fibularis longus inserts into 5th metatarsal but you were pointing at and meant the 1st metatarsal. This video is going to help students and even practitioners for years to come! Thank you for your videos. Cheers!

[@paulsheard3500]

These videos are fantastic and you're a great teacher. Thank you for taking the time to post these!

[@avb2251]

You made it so much easier to understand. Thank you.

[@bardeeaaaa]

starts at 5:19, but everything beforehand is still worth watching :)

[@rachelga4195]

Sam you are the best! Funny, educative and interisting all at once! Thank you so much for that

[@juiceloose100]

This was so interesting. I've had foot pain deep in the sole of my feet for years and was great to see where all these muscles are located and also a bit about how to stretch them. They do so much work over a lifetime!

[@pranayanand7776]

You’re a legend sir I love you so much

[@mezzofeldenkrais6131]

My fave anatomy teacher on the web. LOVE the humour. Re the lumbricals and piano players (i am one)...some folks play instruments with the feet so...just sayin'...I think I will now never forget lumbricals as associated with worms :) Thank you for all you do in teaching a subject that is usually handled with way too much dryness. :)

[@skytrooper8888]

Awesome video man . One of the better breakdowns of muscles yet .

[@sukhada888]

In love with your teaching😭😭😭

[@rhondahunt6148]

I love this man and how he tries to help understand the foot stuff with understandin....humor check in.

[@somethingsafoot]

Small correction: you said 5th metatarsal at 21:33, but fib. longus attaches the base of 1st metatarsal

[@davidwalker72]

Came here to say this. I had to double watch that part. I think this mistake was said earlier in the video as well.

[@bulthiiacemonarch8617]

You really made it simple to understand. Thanks for your time sir. God bless you.

[@KillerTacos54]

Legend! Thank you for these videos

[@dinorivera9153]

Thank you again Mr Sam Webster Wonderful Presentation. Love your shows. I learn so much from them.

[@KevinArdala01]

These videos will make the difference for me attending University some day in the future when I am well again... Thank you so much! 👍

[@toontwee]

You explaination is clear and direct to the subject. Thank you heartily.

[@radhikaroy9274]

Sam u r just what could I say I wish u were our teacher I just love u r way of teaching things lots of love

[@carolewright563]

Absolutely find the feet so interesting out of the whole body !

[@chriswilliams8]

Thanks so much, Sam! Fantastic, informative videos that make understanding complicated anatomy very achievable! You are making our lives as physio students at Brunel so much easier. It's as if you knew we had an anatomy of the lower limb exam coming up in a couple of weeks! Keep them coming.

[@farhanali-2131]

Sir you are soo cool.i wish you will be my teacher of anatomy.Your teaching method is fantastic.i am a huge fan of your teaching method.Thank you....❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@RaulGarcia-tm6hw]

I use to struggle in anatomy but you helping me so much thanks ! I’m college my professors can only teach in a short amount I come back to you if I need more of a refresher thank you !!!❤❤❤

[@shadesawayfromdark6381]

Omggg you saved my drowning soul!!!!😂😂😂 I have exam tomorrow and I hadn't got this Topic through my thick skull 😂😂😂(cause you never recorded a video about it) Thank you so muchh sir Please tell us how we can show our love and gratefulness to you >

[@SamWebster]

I'm glad that it helped. See if you still remember it in 6 months time! That's the trick.

[@michaeljordan215]

Adduction and abduction in toes is very important when gripping for stability when our feet are in their natural form, which we rarely use these days, which is barefooted. This ability is not just weak in most, but non existent. Infact most people that I come across are flat footed these days. Their entire foot is complacent.

[@Lishaaaaaaa]

Thank goodness for these videos.

[@chideraejidike]

Ur channel is the absolute best like I watch ur videos before studying it really helps a lot thanks!

[@santanupatnaik963]

incomparable, exceptional video

[@janemagpie9489]

What if the plantar fascia has disappeared? What if fatty tisue has disappeared? How would the foot function then? Could it function?

[@bellslinki]

Many thanks for another fantastic lesson

[@fluencywithfun5939]

You're amazing!! We're so grateful.

[@MejiaComedy]

I am quite excited. Great intro.

[@beemooo9587]

You taught me things they never teach properly in med school! Thank you !!!

[@jcccheung]

You are brilliant. This helped me so much!

[@ZeynepAksoyReset]

Sam, could the 'strange quadratus' muscle in the foot be also a function for postural stability?

[@aminedaas3885]

Thanks teacher... Great explanation.. Waiting for the next video

[@bradleyweiss7287]

Plantar fasciitis too often generalize diagnosis. The orientation of these multiple foot bones and there mobility often cause the pain. Really looking at the differential objective findings you ll figure out the issues. Weight is not such a issue at foot wear , any macro or micro trauma and absorption of forces upon the foot Dr Brad

[@zhengpaul1456]

Very good at explaining, should be watched with repeated efforts! Good work Sam!

[@anantawi]

hello, any runner here? mind asking if u guys ever have "flexor hallucis brevis" problem(15:22)? i mean sometimes it aching like needles piercing through that part of muscle

[@mariamabomousa1896]

Thank you man alot , from Egypt. that was a great help , honestly.

[@esraaalnaqeeb4811]

your teaching is the best! Thank you so much

[@luciamatuonto1390]

I love your classes.

[@katella]

[@thomaslau9631]

Abduction & adduction of the toes are relative to the 2nd toe (long axis of foot)but not to the 3rd toe

[@theghostkitty]

Thanks for your hard work.

[@CrunchiKam1]

Your videos are so helpful for my exam study Thank you👍

[@LanaLou94]

I love this guy! Makes learning fun

[@billbradleymusic]

I tend to like your videos on whole. Isn't it insane that you can get planter fasciitis from both being over active as well as under active?

[@PikesCore24]

Great videos. But about the music... It seems somber, introspective, maybe foreboding. Why this choice? Is it related to your weather there?

[@SamWebster]

Maybe!

Does anybody knows where could I buy the foot models shown in this video?

[@424io]

Why would the system name a part of the foot the term neurosis,?

[@swisspowerjet]

hallo - where can i buy such a feet sample ?

[@wescoesel5572]

Hi Sam, where did your institution buy this model of the foot? I can't find the one you use but I really like that one.

[@celiasanchez8364]

Thank you for all your vídeos they really helped me with my anatomy knowledge. Could you do a video about the nervous system please . Many thanks ❤

[@rishavraj6973]

Thank you this was a really tricky topic for me. Just want to say I'm a huge fan of your videos watched a lot of them. so keep doing it.also hoping you could make a video on ankle joint and it's ligaments like spring ligament.

[@SamWebster]

There's a bit of bone stuff here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWeUhHSkiJ6dnqM But yes, I should add the ligaments to my to do list.

how do i fix mine, bro? it hurts to walk normally without overcompensating

does anyone know what stops heal from lifting when starting to walk forward. instead the foot rolls to the lateral side.

Can you kindly share the link to getting this foot model?

[@mikekleanthous7023]

Came just in time. Please do the other muscles of the foot and talk about chiasma plantare and chiasma crurale!

[@SamWebster]

I've just recorded a bit about the dorsal muscles. I forgot the chiasma bits because I never mention them normally - I'll try to remember to annotate them when I'm editing it!

[@mikekleanthous7023]

@@SamWebster Good, these chiasmas seem to be important for doctors in Germany for some reason !

This didn't fit with this week's video. I'll do an extra, super-short one just for these two terms.

[@julia77876]

Hey I love your videos!! Quick question maybe u can help me… I have a sharp pain in my lower abdomen on the right side right where the appendix is… I went to the ER and they didn’t see any signs of appendicitis but it feels like a sharp pain right where the appendix is… When I allow my foot to relax and not flex the top muscle the pain is in my lower abdomen and it’s sharp pain. Some how it connects but I have no idea what it is… So I’m wondering what type of muscle strain would cause this ?? Super weird hope you can help

[@myla6135]

I've no real response to your question Julia but I'm "super weird" too. I can massage my ankle and get sharp electric type pains in my ribs and shoulder blades. When I mention it to any therapist they sort of blank out and talk about something else. I'm putting it down to connective tissue which is everywher, and my connective tissue is very suspect due to my hypermobility (something else therapists blank out on). BTW I'm no expert on anything anatomical. Just trying to figure out why my foot hurts near my flexor hallicis longus (as I've just learned). Hope you sorted your pain out. Mine are here to stay I fear.
