Anatomical Study of the Fibularis Longus Muscle Motor Points and Electrical Stimulation Therapy Application

The fibularis longus muscle (FLM) has an important role in the movement of eversion of the foot and in maintaining the plantar arch. The electrostimulation procedures seek to maintain muscle trophism, increase strength and endurance, and are frequently used in physiotherapy, for which the clinician...
