The adductor hallucis muscle is responsible for adduction of the big toe (toe number one) at the metatarsophalangeal joint. Extension of the big toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint is primarily performed by the extensor hallucis longus muscle. Flexion of the thumb at the metacarpophalangeal joint is performed by the flexor pollicis longus muscle. Extension of the big toe at the interphalangeal joint is primarily performed by the extensor hallucis brevis muscle.
