The morphology and morphometry of the normal human tibialis anterior muscle.
The light microscopic appearance of the human tibialis anterior muscle is described based on conchotome biopsy specimens from seven healthy volunteers and 20 patients who presented with myalgia but who had no evidence of neuromuscular disease. The morphometric characteristics of these normal muscles are documented and the similarities and differences between the appearances of the tibialis anterior and other muscles discussed.
