In peripheral neuropathies and common peroneal nerve lesions, which muscle often shows wasting?

Wasting of the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) is commonly observed in peripheral neuropathies and lesions of the common peroneal nerve. In a healthy individual, the EDB muscle stands out distinctly, resembling a grape, when the toes are dorsiflexed against resistance.
