Abstract
The posterior tibial tendon muscle plays a critical role in the function of the foot. It is, with the exception of the triceps surae, the largest of the extrinsic foot muscles. It is called upon to provide a critical posturing and stabilizing function to the foot during gait. This review discusses the anatomy, physiology, functional characteristics, and measurement of the strength of this muscle.Mesh:
