We continue our lesson on the anatomy of the feet. Below is a list of the muscles that are associated with keeping your feet strong and in motion:
Anterior Tibial – enables the foot to move upward
Posterior Tibial – supports the arch of the foot
Proneal Tibial – controls the movement on the outside of the ankle
Extensors – help the ankle raise the toes
Flexors – help stabilize the toes

In order to allow the muscles to work, tendons and ligaments are needed. Tendons and ligaments help keep the muscles in place. Below is a list:
Tendons connect muscles to the bones and joints.
The Achilles tendon connects the calf to the heel.
Ligaments hold tendons in place and stabilize the joints of the foot.
The Plantar Fascia forms the arch and connects to midfoot bones to the hindfoot bones.
This ligament stretches and contracts, curves and flattens, and helps to provide balance when you walk.
