A three-headed plantaris muscle: evidence that the plantaris is not a vestigial muscle? [PDF]

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2020
AbstractThe plantaris is a small muscle that typically originates at the lateral supracondylar line of the femur and the knee joint capsule, from where it continues distally, forming a long and slender tendon. However, considerable controversy surrounds the status of this seemingly inconspicuous muscle: is it a residual muscle, or one that it is just ...

Is the plantaris muscle the most undefined human skeletal muscle? [PDF]

Anatomical Science International, 2020
AbstractThe plantaris muscle is located in the posterior aspect of the superficial compartment of the lower leg, running from the lateral condyle of the femur to the calcaneal tuberosity. Classically, it is characterized by a small and fusiform muscle belly, which then changes into a long slender tendon.

Physical inactivity induces insulin resistance in plantaris muscle through protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B activation in mice [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Inactivity causes insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and exacerbates various lifestyle-related diseases. We previously found that 24-h hindlimb cast immobilization (HCI) of the predominantly slow-twitch soleus muscle increased intramyocellular ...

Bicipital origin and the course of the plantaris muscle [PDF]

Anatomy & Cell Biology, 2021
The plantaris muscle (PM) has a small fusiform muscle belly and a long slender tendon sandwiched between the soleus (SM) and gastrocnemius muscle (GM). During routine dissection for research, an additional PM in the popliteal region of a 75-year-old Korean female was discovered. Two distinct PMs were present, the superior PM (sPM) and inferior PM (iPM).

Enzymatically modified isoquercitrin supplementation intensifies plantaris muscle fiber hypertrophy in functionally overloaded mice [PDF]

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2017
Background Enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) is produced from rutin using enzymatic hydrolysis followed by treatment with glycosyltransferase in the presence of dextrin to add glucose residues.

Morphological Classification of the Plantaris Muscle Origin: A Cadaveric Study [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Abstract The plantaris muscle (PM), considered vestigial in humans, has clinical significance owing to its anatomical variations. This study examined the prevalence, origin types, and clinical relevance of the PM in the Korean population to aid clinical and surgical practices, particularly in posterior knee surgery. A total of 160 lower

Mild hyperbaric oxygen enhances recovery of the plantaris muscle atrophy induced by cast immobilization of the hindlimb in male rats [PDF]

Physiological Reports
Loss of muscle mass is associated with muscle functional decline and mortality. The present study aimed to determine whether exposure to mild hyperbaric oxygen (MHO) during and after casting immobilization reduces muscle atrophy.

A bifurcated plantaris muscle: another confirmation of its high morphological variability? Another type of plantaris muscle

Folia Morphologica, 2021
The plantaris muscle usually begins with a short, narrow belly in the popliteal fossa at the lateral supracondylar line of the femur and the knee joint capsule.

The nerves to the plantaris muscle and a bipennate part of the soleus muscle

Anatomical Science International, 2012
We performed nerve fiber analysis of the nerve to the plantaris muscle in ten cases. Macroscopically, the nerve to the plantaris muscle has a tendency to branch off from the tibial nerve itself independent of the nerves to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (the triceps surae muscle). After removing the epineurium of the tibial nerve, it was revealed

The Plantaris Muscle Tendon and Its Relationship with the Achilles Tendinopathy [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2018
Purpose. Although the plantaris muscle (PM) is vestigial in humans, it has a significant clinical role in procedures such as grafting. However, recent reports suggest its potential involvement in the tendinopathy of the midportion of the Achilles tendon.
