what are the extrinsic muscles of the foot
Both your feet and your hands have extrinsic and intrinsic muscles. Extrinsic muscles originate far away from the joints that they move. For the foot, there are toe muscles that start on the shin bones and turn into tendons that attach on the ends of the toes.he intrinsic muscles are like the âcoreâ muscles of the foot. Because they are deep and donât cross over too many joints, they can work well in stabilizing and protecting the arch and structures within the foot. If the foot intrinsic muscles are weak, the foot structures are more prone to increased stress and injury.
