Nerve:  Deep Peroneal (fibular)

Compartment:  Anterior of the leg

Skeletal muscles:  Tibialis anterior, peroneus (fibularis) tertius, and extensors hallicus and digitorium longus and brevis

Cutaneous distribution:  The web of skin between toes #1 and #2

Neuromuscular deficit:  The foot is severely plantar flexed so that the patient walks with a high “steppage” gait and foot “clop”. The toes of the impaired limb drag along the floor during the “swing” phase of gait. Weakness/paralysis is accompanied by cutaneous nerve deficit between the first and second toes.
