What does SOLEUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A broad, flat muscle in the calf of the leg, lying beneath the gastrocnemius, that helps point the foot downward.
Soleus takes its Latin name from solea, a sandal or sole, because the muscle's flat, elongated shape was thought to resemble the sole of a shoe. It lies underneath the more visible gastrocnemius and works together with it to point the foot and push off the ground while walking or running. Because it contains more slow-twitch fibres than the muscle above it, the soleus is particularly important for maintaining posture and sustaining effort over long periods, such as standing or distance running.
How SOLEUS is used
An anatomical term used in medicine, physiotherapy and sports science rather than everyday speech.
- Calf raises strengthen both the gastrocnemius and the soleus.
- The physiotherapist tested the soleus for signs of strain.
- A tight soleus can limit how far the ankle bends.
- The scan showed swelling deep in the soleus.
- Runners often stretch the soleus separately from the rest of the calf.
