A muscle that can hold another part of the body in a stable position while the action is occurring
27
Synergist
A muscle that works with the action in question
28
Static stretch
Held on a comfortable but challenging position for a short period of time
29

A stretch performed by moving through a challenging but comfortable range of motion repeatedly
30
Passive stretching
Passivusing am outside assistant to help achieve a stretch
31
Active stretche
Contracting the muscles in opposition to the one that is being stretched

Medial arch collapse. Can be structural or functional
45
Plantar fasciitis
Painful inflammation of the fascia on plantar side of the foot
46
The ankle joint
Talocrural joint Plantarflexion and dorsiflexion Talus meets the fibula and tibia Anterior talofibular ligament prevents excessive inversion of the foot
47
Tibialis anterior
Bootstrap muscles that support the medial arch through a stronger resting muscle tone Has to do with shin splints Stretch by doing hero diamond or triangle mukha eka pada paschimotanasana
48
Subtalar tarsal joint
Between talas and calcaneus Helps with pronation and supination
49
Metatarsophalangel joints MTP
Located at the heads of the metatarsals and bases of the proximal phalanges synovial joints Flexion extention Abduction and adduction
50
Extensor digitorum longus
Main contributor to extension of the toes 2-5 at the metatassophanlangel joints and the interphalangealnjoints When hypertonic it will cause cramping or stiff ness when attempting to plantar flex the foot
51
Extensor hallucis longus
Extensor of the big toe
52
Lateral compartment muscles
For plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle Fibularis longus Supports medial arch Fibularis brevis More important to strengthen than to stretch Bootstrap muscles
53
Superficial compartment muscles
Tendons that cross posterior to the muscles can plantar flex the foot Gastrocnemius Calf muscle Soleus Medial calf muscle
54
Deep posterior compartment muscles
Popliteus Unlocks the knee and is also responsible for actions of medial rotations of the leg at the knee joint Attached to the lateral meniscus of the knee joint and moves the meniscus posteriorly during knee flexion preventing it from getting caught and impinged between the femoral and tibial condyles
55
Tibialis posterior
Bootstrap muscles that supports the medial arch Hyper Tonicity Can cause shin splints on the back
56
Flexor hallucis longus

62
Bursae
Fluid filled sacks
63
Coxa vara
An angle significantly less than 125 degrees creating a sharper bend on the femoral neck and shaft resulting in a shorter lower extremity
64
Coxa vaga
