Anterior Leg Compartment [Part 2] | Digital Extensors (EDL & EHL)

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and extensor hallucis longus (EHL) muscles. It covers their anatomy, including origins, insertions, actions, and innervation. The EDL is responsible for extending digits 2-5 and assists in dorsiflexion and subtalar eversion. The EHL extends the great toe and aids in dorsiflexion. Both muscles are innervated by the deep fibular nerve. The tutorial concludes with a brief introduction to toe yoga, which will be covered in subsequent videos.
