91 human cadaver feet were dissected to reveal the transverse head of adductor hallucis and measurements of the weights, angles of pull, width of origin and insertions were recorded. The origins and insertions of this muscle were found to differ from standard textbook descriptions. The origin usually includes the deep transverse metatarsal ligaments of the foot, the plantar ligaments of the lateral metatarsophalangeal joints, the intermuscular septa of the third and fourth muscle layers and the fibular syndesmosis of HENKEL (1913). The insertion was found to be usually by fleshy attachment to the lateral border of the oblique head of adductor hallucia. The angle of pull and the adjusted weights (% of intrinsic muscle mass) were found to be highly variable. In addition the transverse head was absent in 6% of the specimens. The function of this muscle is in question and it is likely that it is of little importance in normal foot functions.
对91例人体尸体足部进行解剖，以显露拇收肌横头，并记录其重量、拉力角度、起点宽度和止点宽度的测量值。发现该肌肉的起点和止点与标准教科书描述不同。起点通常包括足部的跖骨深横韧带、外侧跖趾关节的足底韧带、第三和第四肌层的肌间隔以及亨克尔（1913年）的腓骨联合。发现止点通常是通过肉质附着于拇收肌斜头的外侧缘。发现拉力角度和调整后的重量（占固有肌质量的百分比）变化很大。此外，6%的标本中没有横头。该肌肉的功能存在疑问，并且它在正常足部功能中可能不太重要。
