This document discusses the muscles of the foot and their functions. It describes two types of foot muscles - intrinsic muscles contained fully within the foot, and extrinsic muscles that originate in the lower leg. Various foot movements are defined, such as inversion, eversion, adduction, and abduction. The muscles responsible for each movement are identified. Loads on the foot during walking and running are also covered, noting how forces can range from 1.6 to 2.8 times body weight depending on speed. Foot architecture and conditions like flat or high arches can influence how load is distributed across the foot.
