What is the Correct Way to Check Repeatability in Balances?

Safe Weighing Range Ensures Accurate Results

The "longus" and "brevis" are much more similar to each other than they are to the "tertius", as shown in the table below.

Name	Compartment	Action	Nerve	Artery
Peroneus longus	lateral compartment	eversion and plantarflexion	superficial fibular nerve	fibular artery
Peroneus brevis	lateral compartment	eversion and plantarflexion	superficial fibular nerve	fibular artery
Peroneus tertius	anterior compartment	eversion only	deep fibular nerve	anterior tibial artery
