Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dorsal interossei pedis muscles are located on the top of the foot and are responsible for the abduction of toes two through four at the metatarsophalangeal joint. They help to spread the toes apart and provide stability during weight-bearing activities such as walking and running. The other choices do not describe actions of the dorsal interossei pedis muscles.
