![]() ![]() ![]() Muscles intrinsic to the foot are analogous to muscles intrinsic to the hand. Having strong intrinsic foot muscles is important. Intrinsic motions move one portion of the foot relative to other foot joints. Intrinsic foot muscles have both attachments inside the foot. Extrinsic foot muscles move the ankle and the foot. Extrinsic foot muscles have one attachment in the foot and the other attachment extrinsic to the foot up in the leg. Muscles about the foot and ankle are described as either extrinsic muscles or intrinsic muscles. Toe curl or toe scrunching exercises is not appropriate for strengthening the muscles intrinsic to the feet. Exercises to strengthen the foot are frequently used to treat injuries to foot, ankle, knee, hip and low back. ![]()
