Testing the fibular (peroneal) nerve. (A) Sensory distribution. The common fibular (peroneal) nerve has three main sensory branches. The lateral
cutaneous nerve of the calf supplies the lateral surface of the calf, the superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve supplies the lateral surface of the lower leg and
the dorsum of the foot, and the deep fibular (peroneal) nerve supplies a roughly triangular patch of skin on the dorsum of the foot between the first and
second toes. (B) Extensor hallucis longus. The large toe is extended (dorsiflexed) against resistance. (C) Extensor digitorum longus. The second, third,
fourth, and fifth toes are extended against resistance. (D) Tibialis anterior. The foot is dorsiflexed at the ankle against resistance. (E) Fibularis (peroneus)
longus and brevis. The foot is everted (rotated laterally) at the ankle against resistance.
