Lumbrical muscles of the foot

This video tutorial by Matt from Kenhub covers the lumbrical muscles of the foot, which are part of the central compartment of the sole. It explains their location, innervation by the medial and lateral plantar nerves, and their origin from the tendons of the flexor digitorum longus muscle. The tutorial also discusses the functions of these muscles, including flexion at the metatarsophalangeal joint and adduction of the toes. The video concludes with a call to explore more resources on Kenhub for a comprehensive anatomy learning experience.
