tibialis anterior muscle

To the lateral side, a covering of connective tissue, called fascia, envelops the tibialis anterior muscle and creates a "compartment" within the leg.

As for muscle activity, textured inserts decrease the activation of soleus and tibialis anterior muscles during standing and walking.

The tibialis anterior muscle is the most medial muscle of the anterior compartment of the leg.

When walking in negative heeled shoes, muscle activity of gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles are similar to that observed in uphill walking.

The tibialis anterior muscle was removed to expose the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle.

Harrison and Mortensen (1962) trained subjects using visual and auditory EMG biofeedback to control individual motor units in the tibialis anterior muscle of the leg.

In the 'lower leg', the anterior tibial enters the extensor compartment near the upper border of the interosseus membrane to descend between the Tibialis anterior muscle and the Extensor hallucis longus muscle.

It ascends in the tibialis anterior muscle, ramifies on the front and sides of the knee-joint, and assists in the formation of the patellar plexus by anastomosing with the genicular branches of the popliteal, and with the highest genicular artery.

Running flat or uphill, the heel is used to push off rather than the ball of the foot as normally occurs with forward runnining, working the tibialis anterior muscle (pushes the heel down, raises front of foot) more as a prime mover than a shock absorber.

Electromyographic (EMG) studies of the leg muscles in PD patients have shown an extreme reduction in the activation of the tibialis anterior muscle in the early stance and in the early and late swing phases, and a reduction in triceps surae muscle bursting at push-off.
