The triceps surae consists of two muscles located at the calf – the two-headed gastrocnemius and the soleus. These muscles both insert into the calcaneus, the bone of the heel of the human foot, and form the major part of the muscle of the posterior leg, commonly known as the calf muscle.
The triceps surae, a term used to group the muscles of the calf, is constructed by the soleus, the two-headed (medial & lateral) gastrocnemius and the plantaris muscles [1]. Research suggests that contracture of the triceps surae is correlated with various conditions that affect the forefoot and midfoot, therefore consideration of these muscles ...
The triceps surae muscle is one of the muscles of the superficial group of the posterior compartment of the leg. It is a combined term for three muscles, these are the: - lateral head of gastrocnemius; - medial head of gastrocnemius; - soleus.
The triceps surae (Latin: musculus triceps surae) is a group of large muscles located in the posterior compartment of the leg. It consists of two superficial posterior leg muscles - gastrocnemius and soleus. Both muscles form the main mass of the calf.
The plantaris muscle originates from the lateral supracondylar line of the femur (Olewnik et al., 2018). Together with the gastrocnemius, and soleus, they are collectively named as the triceps surae muscle. In many mammals, plantaris is well developed however, the muscle is absent in 7–20% of limbs in humans.
There is no general consensus as to whether the triceps surae muscle, the major plantar flexor group, contributes to the propulsive action (active thrust or ‘push-off’) or to the support action, or both. Debate has been surrounding the functional role of ankle flexors for some time.
