The quadratus plantae and lumbricals pedis muscles attach into the tendon of the flexor digitorum longus muscle. The quadratus plantae assists in flexing the toes by modifying the angle of pull of the flexor digitorum longus, while the lumbricals, originating from the tendons of the flexor digitorum longus, aid in flexing the metatarsophalangeal joints and extending the interphalangeal joints.
