  • The extrinsic muscles of the foot originate in the lower leg, whilst the intrinsic muscles are contained within the foot itself.
  • The intrinsic foot muscles act to stabilise the foot and support the arches, as well as to produce fine movement of the toes.
  • The intrinsic foot muscles can be divided into two main groups, plantar and dorsal.
