Primary Ankle Eversion Muscles
Primary Ankle Eversion Muscles
The main muscles responsible for turning the sole of the foot outward are peroneus longus and peroneus brevis.
Ankle Eversion ROM
Ankle Eversion ROM
The normal range of motion for turning the foot outward is approximately 15-25 degrees.
Peroneus Longus Origin
Peroneus Longus Origin
The Peroneus longus muscle starts on the lateral condyle of the tibia and upper two-thirds of the fibula.

Study Notes
Ankle Eversion from Plantar Flexion
- Primary Muscles:
- Peroneus longus
- Peroneus brevis
- Accessory Muscles:
- Extensor digitorum longus
- Peroneus tertius
- Range of Motion:
- 15° to 25° of foot eversion
- Peroneus Longus Anatomy:
- Origin: Lateral condyle of tibia, head of fibula, upper two-thirds of lateral fibula shaft
- Insertion: Base of 1st metatarsal and medial cuneiform
- Action of Peroneus Longus:
- Plantar flexes and everts foot
- Supports lateral longitudinal and transverse arches
- Innervated by the peroneal nerve
- Peroneus Brevis Anatomy:
- Origin: Lower two-thirds of lateral fibula shaft
- Insertion: Base of 5th metatarsal
- Action of Peroneus Brevis:
- Plantar flexes and everts foot
- Supports lateral longitudinal arches
- Innervated by the peroneal nerve
- Weakness Effects:
- Decreases strength of eversion/plantar flexion of ankle
- Allows a varus position of the foot
- Contracture Effects:
- Results in an everted or valgus foot position
- Lessens ability to rise on toes
- Decreases lateral foot stability
Objectives
- Identify primary muscles of ankle eversion from plantar flexion
- Identify range of motion of ankle eversion from plantar flexion
- Describe effect of weakness of ankle eversion
- Describe effect of ankle eversion contracture
