Flexor of the Little Toe Short

The flexor small toe is a muscle in the human foot that is responsible for flexing and extending the small toe. This muscle is one of the smallest muscles in the human body and is important for maintaining balance and coordination when walking.

The flexor toe flexor consists of two parts: the flexor longus and the flexor brevis. The flexor longus originates from the base of the big toe and passes through the foot to the base of the little toe. The flexor brevis starts from the inner surface of the foot and passes to the base of the big toe.

The function of the flexor lesser toe is to allow the toe to flex and extend during walking. When a person walks, the flexor pollicis helps him maintain balance and coordination.

However, if this muscle is damaged or weakened, it can lead to problems with balance and walking. Additionally, some people may experience foot or toe pain when walking due to improper functioning of this muscle.

In order to strengthen the flexor pollicis, you can perform special exercises such as walking on your heels and toes, as well as stretching exercises for this muscle. It's also helpful to watch your diet by eating more foods rich in calcium and other minerals that are essential for healthy bones and muscles.



Flexor toe brevis (lat. digiti minimi brevis pedis, pna, syn. m. f. digitorum pedis breves, m. tibialis ant.3, SFTP) is a muscle of the forefoot in its lower third. To be distinguished from: flexor hallucis longus. In rare cases, it may be referred to as: flexor toe brevis. It is the weakest and least innervated of all the deep plantar flexors and is responsible for a variety of small movements. This muscle is attached at one end to the fibula or to the talus in the forefoot and at the other end it is attached to the phalanx of the toe (most often the big toe). This muscle also ensures the functioning of the big toe: its movement when stepping up and moving the foot forward is its main purpose. Thanks to this muscle, our foot is capable of maintaining balance. To imagine the image of this small flexor of the finger, let's turn to the anatomical atlas: find the supinator, transverse and posterior tibial muscles. They are located above, and the flexor brevis is located below. Some specialists call it the flexor pollicis transversus. Being a synergist of the flexor digitorum longissimus, it takes part in everything. Due to the flexor pollicis longus and brevis muscles, the toe becomes a reference point for turning and other movements, supporting the leg in the correct vertical position. The load is felt very strongly when leaning on one hundred feet
