Tibial nerve

The tibial nerve is one of the large nerves in the human body, which is responsible for the innervation of the muscles of the leg and foot. It is a continuation of the sciatic nerve, which passes through the gluteal region and the back of the thigh.

The tibial nerve begins in the gluteal region and passes through the gluteus maximus muscle, then crosses the back of the thigh and lies on the front of the lower leg. It then passes through the foot and innervates the muscles of the foot and lower leg.

One of the main functions of the tibial nerve is to ensure the motor function of the muscles of the lower leg and foot, as well as to regulate the sensitivity of the skin on the foot and lower leg. When the tibial nerve is damaged, various motor dysfunctions may occur, such as weakness of the muscles of the foot and leg, as well as impaired sensitivity in the skin.

To prevent damage to the tibial nerve, it is necessary to follow safety rules when playing sports, avoid injuries and bruises of the lower leg and foot, and also undergo regular medical examinations to identify possible disorders in the functioning of the nervous system.
