Activity – Analyzing the Fibularis Muscles (Fibularis Longus and Fibularis Brevis)
Note: Theses muscles are also known as the “Peroneals”
In this activity we will use the "3 Rules of Muscles" to determine the joint actions of the
Fibularis Muscles. Answer the questions below:

Plantar Flexion
Dorsiflexion

1. What joint do the fibularis muscles cross?
Ankle
2. The malleoli could be viewed as the axis, or pivot point of the ankle joint. The fibularis
muscles cross the ankle posterior to the lateral malleoli. Does this imply that contraction
of the fibularis muscles will contribute to dorsiflexion, or plantar flexion?
Plantar Flexion
3. The fibularis muscles cross the lateral side of the ankle and foot. When the fibularis
muscles contract, what frontal plane joint action will they contribute to?
Eversion
4. Re-write your answers into one succinct table?
Fibularis Muscles
o Joint crossed: Ankle
o Actions: Plantar flexion and eversion
