A)restrains/slows flexion of the little toe (toe number five)at the metatarsophalangeal joint
B)restrains/slows abduction of the little toe (toe number five)at the metatarsophalangeal joint

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flexor digiti minimi pedis primarily functions to flex the little toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint. In an eccentric contraction, where the muscle lengthens under tension, it would act to control or slow down the extension of the little toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint, not flexion, abduction, or movements at the ankle joint.
