The document describes the four layers of muscles in the sole of the foot. The first layer contains four muscles including the abductor hallucis. The second layer contains seven muscles including the flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus. The third layer contains three muscles. The fourth and deepest layer contains nine muscles including the tibialis posterior, peroneus longus, and interossei muscles. The plantar aponeurosis connects many of the muscles and continues into the deep fascia on the top of the foot.
