The Interosseous and Lumbrical muscles of the human foot with special reference to there distal attachments.
Professional Med J Jan ;3(1):71-8.

Pedal muscles play a vital role in posture maintenance and locomotion is human beings. There is a great controversy on the insertion of interossei and lumbrical muscles of the human foot in the literature. 112 lower limbs were dissected to observe the abnormal distal attachments of interossei and lumbricales. Anomalous insertions of planter interossei were observed in 11 (9.8%) limbs, of dorsal interossei in 12 (10.7%) limbs, of lumbrical muscles in 24 (21.4%) limbs. Each of these muscles was found absent in 2 (1.8 %) limbs. Anomalous distal attachments of interossei and lumbricales may be the part of evolutionary process of human beings, which may or may not hinder the normal human locomotion.
