Question

It should be no surprise that if you wear high heel shoes you can have potential issues with your arches, ankles, shins, knees, hips or lower back. But it does not need to be as drastic of a heel to give you similar problems. Most running/athletic shoes act in a similar fashion, putting you into a slight or exaggerated plantar-flexed state, which leads to short and tight plantar-flexors and stretched and weakened dorsi-flexors.

17.Which of the following nerves would innervate the stretch weakened muscles described above?

A. tibial n.

B. superficial fibular n.

C. deep fibular n.

D. common fibular n.

Explanation / Answer

Ans D. Common fibular nerve

Foot drop is caused due to irritation or damage of common fibular nerve including sciatic nerve which paralyses the muscles in anterior portion of the lower leg and causes gait abnormality.

The nerve is also known as common peroneal nerve and gives off articular and lateral sural cutaneous nerves.
