  • Each of the extrinsic foot muscles that cross the ankle also cross the subtalar joint. Flexor hallucis longus' line of application is located posterior and inferior to the ankle joint's axis, so that it produces plantar flexion. The muscle's line of application lies on the medial side of the subtalar joint's axis, so that it produces subtalar supination. The correct response is 'd.'
