Clinical Significance of Anatomic Peculiarities and Ultrasound-Guided Electromyography of the Posterior Tibial Muscle
The posterior tibial muscle (PTM) is a key muscle in diagnosing the level of the neurologic lesion that causes steppage gate that is a paralysis of nervous origin of the muscles ensuring the foot dorsiflexion. The aim of this manuscript is to illustrate the anatomical peculiarities of the PTM, the u...

description | The posterior tibial muscle (PTM) is a key muscle in diagnosing the level of the neurologic lesion that causes steppage gate that is a paralysis of nervous origin of the muscles ensuring the foot dorsiflexion. The aim of this manuscript is to illustrate the anatomical peculiarities of the PTM, the ultrasound (US) anatomy of the infero-posterior part of the leg, and the technique of US-guided electro-neuro-myography (ENMG) of the PTM, which is considered a key muscle in the diagnosis of the neurological lesion causing steppage gate. The US-guided ENMG of the PTM is technically easy and safe for young practitioners provided there is a good knowledge of US anatomy of the infero-posterior part of the leg. |
