Fibularis Longus (Fib Long R)
The M. Fibularis Longus (Fibularis Longus) is a muscle of the lower leg region. It is responsible for eversion (pronation) at the subtalar joint, plantar flexion, stabilization of the transverse arch of the foot. 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).

Foot eversion against resistance
Common use cases for surface EMG measurement of the M. Fibularis Longus:
25% on line from fibular head to lateral malleolus. Orientation: Parallel to the fibula. Based on the official SENIAM recommendations (Hermens et al. 2000).
Foot eversion against resistance. This movement is part of the SENIAM protocol for standardized contraction verification.
Yes. The M. Fibularis Longus is one of 26 muscles for which the SENIAM project has published official surface EMG electrode placement recommendations.
