Fibularis Brevis (Fib Brev L)
The M. Fibularis Brevis (Fibularis Brevis) is a muscle of the lower leg region. It is responsible for eversion (pronation) at the subtalar joint, weak plantar flexion. This muscle is one of 26 with official SENIAM-recommended surface EMG electrode placement. This page documents the exact electrode position, anatomical attachments and a standardized test movement based on Hermens et al. (2000).
