Ankle & Foot Anatomy: Muscle Actions

[@clairemasterson6031]

One of the best things, in my opinion, to come from quarantine are the lecture videos now forever circulating on the internet. You've created great resources for us students to be able to come back to if we ever need a refresher!

[@KeeganDeBever]

This was posted 3 years ago and now you have been making a lot more useful videos that I have been watching! Thank you for the videos you are making, I have learned a lot in your class.

[@wyattsimms4472]

I like how clear all the pictures showing each muscle are. They really show the orientation of the muscles and the movements they cause at each joint when they contract.

[@mackenziehustead4037]

I had never heard that if you sprint that will probably make your gastrocnemius sore while if you walk a lot that will probably make your soleus sore. This was a great video showing all of the muscles. The visuals were really helpful for me.

[@PLNUstephaniekhin]

i love how all the muscles are shown and highlighted. there is a detailed explanation of the muscles throughout the video which is helpful!

[@soleilgraham3042]

The cross-over between A&P and this class has been awesome because I feel like a lot of the information is permanently engraved in my brain. The way this class was set up was new to me but I appreciate the effort put into these videos as they are super helpful study material!!

[@chaseplott3199]

It is rewarding to know we have completed the whole body. I enjoyed how you broke the course up into different sections starting superiorly and ending inferiorly on the body!

[@emmalynchang1717]

I really appreciate how you transitioned this class to online, especially since I will be able to watch these videos again and again. I'm sure I'll be back to reference these in the future as well. Thank you so much for this semester!

[@AnthonyRabban]

These lectures really helped throughout the whole year. I’m glad these videos were made because I think even after this class I will still go back to these videos.

[@ClaireStone-jq4wg]

Loved hearing about your love/hate relationship with the anterior tibialis! Glad it brought you here today!

[@luciavaldez2601]

These videos have been so helpful this entire semester. Cant believe this is the last lecture version of the semester, they have been a great reference point for me this semester.

[@laurenhufault367]

It was inspiring to hear your story of becoming interested in your career because of your tibialis posterior. It's crazy that our weaknesses can (quite literally) lead us toward our strengths. Thank you for this amazing video series!

[@emilywalker9462]

I was fascinated about how walking and running make your different calve muscles sore. Thankyou for sharing how your injury led you to learning so much about optimal health and human performance, that is awesome! Thank you for your helpful videos this semester!

[@makennans]

These videos have been such a great tool to further my understanding of the human body. They are an incredible resource for anyone seeking to review any section of the body.

[@ryanharris8481]

I enjoyed hearing your story about how you fell in love with kinesiology! Even though your running career ended, it opened up a new opportunities in teaching!

[@jackmalone5800]

Crazy that this is the last lecture video for this class, really appreciate the effort you put into these videos they have helped a ton with the quizzes every week and more than anything just made me feel more comfortable with the language of kinesiology and knowing the actual anatomy way better.

[@brandonkotlarczyk]

It is cool to hear a story about a small muscle that is not talked about much inspiring you to work into this field. These videos have been very helpful to prepare for lab in class.

[@Moniiiqueee824]

Truly blessed I get to watch theses videos at home, but as well as going in to class and palpating all the bones/muscles in the foot and the ankle!!

[@wyattcarlson7504]

Once again, I really appreciated how each of the major muscles has there own slide with actions, it makes it so much easier for me to learn the difference between all of these muscles.

[@chynnakifer1218]

I like how you split up the muscles into categories to help with locating them. Thank you for all you videos this semester!

[@torilucht5871]

The part of the video that was the most helpful for me was understanding that the location of the muscle determines the function. This made understanding the muscle action easier because if you know location it give a hint to what it is doing to the foot. Very helpful!

[@NoelleDarquea]

I like how you incorporate stories to help us remember specific material. It helps me out when we have a quiz or exam because I remember that specific story so quickly.

[@miadenava585]

Thank you for sharing how your tibialis posterior interested you in your career. These videos have been super helpful!

[@taylorrobertson8274]

Having the course lectures online has helped me to study for the quizzes and exams! Thanks for everything!!

[@hannahlien5137]

This video was such a great review of all the muscles within the foot and ankle! The explanations made it much easier to break down all the specific movements that each muscle does.

[@peytonyoshida7500]

This seems like an overwhelming amount of information, but is just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you for taking the time to create these for our learning.

[@zoiezantua7002]

I really appreciate that you shared how your tibialis posterior injury led you to develop your passion for your career!

[@VirAquinoPLNU]

This semester fly by pretty fast! I can’t believe this is the last video, this class has really helped me in regards to getting information about our muscles and its functions! Can’t wait for next semester!

[@baileywilliams2821]

I really liked how in-depth the actions are and how you explain how these actions are possible because of the origins and insertions

[@evakoutelieris9550]

I really appreciated how broken down everything was, and how good the description and explanation of everything was

[@nataliemiller4608]

It is quite inspiring how you took something like injury and regard it now as one of the things that steered you towards a different passion. Sounds like a real blessing in disguise! I have no doubt that these videos- from the head to the toes- are ones I will forever reference!

[@mollytucker567]

These videos have been really helpful in me learning the specific bony landmarks, muscle actions and movements of our body each week. There have been good refreshers as well as I have learned so many new things about the way our bodies move!

[@emmafrazier204]

These videos have been such a huge help especially when studying for the quizzes. I also have learned so much from this class since each section goes in depth with exercise and how the body moves as a whole!

[@EmileeWoods-ho3qm]

This video was a great refresher on the muscles of the ankle and the foot! Thank you for a great semester Dr. Goodin!

[@KelseyWilliams-vr8kn]

The origin and insertion being highlighted on all the muscles really helps me visualize where they are!

[@DylanSimmons-p2f]

Great way to end the semester! Thanks for all the helpful and informative videos that we have utilized throughout.

[@maddie.bonadurer]

It seems like a lot of people within the kines dept have a similar origin story to yours when asked why they chose kines; It almost always goes back to when they were an athlete, how much time they spent in a PT office for sport-related injuries, or just how much they loved their sport and the staff of healthcare professionals that worked alongside them in those times. I think it shows a lot about what these professions do and the way they can impact others in so many different ways.

[@Jerel_Q]

Thank you for sharing your story on how you ended where you are today. I truly appreciate other people's stories especially when it deals with overcoming an obstacle in life or using that specific event as a way of opening another door.

[@cameransherwood5157]

Crazy to think this is the last video for the semester! Dr. Goodin, you are appreciated so immensely! Will definitely always check out your newest videos when they drop!!

[@sofiawallauch1078]

This video really helped me visualize the of the muscles of the ankle and foot. All of your videos this semester were amazing and they not only helped me visualize the muscles and their actions, but they were fun and entertaining!

[@laurenhan0023]

Can't believe we are already at the end of the semester! This video was really helpful in locating the muscles of the ankle/foot joint and their actions. The ankle and foot and way more complex than I thought so the explanations were great!

[@aleucht]

Your tibialis posterior story is memorable and it just shows how we all get into this profession for our own reasons!

[@moirabryson5042]

I loved the intro as that really summed up those years of learning all online which really did not go well for many however I'm happy that we're all back in person and able to put this into practice!

[@valenciaanzoandrade5878]

So grateful to be able to learn and take this course in person.

[@hunterlong2817]

Grouping the muscles of the foot and ankle based on location was especially helpful when trying to picture actions. This video helped me understand how these muscles work in relation to the crucial structures in the surrounding area.

[@matthewwadley4348]

The muscles of the foot & ankle is a muscle group that unlike the others like knee, arm, chest I'm not that knowledgeable for it. So this was a great resource for me to learn this muscle groups. Also this class was a blur, it went way too fast in my opinion. I'm so happy to have been in this class and learned even more about the body.

[@codybaulk]

I struggled with all the muscles and movement of the leg since there are so many but watching the videos helps me to see and understand their movements while you annotate the images. It also helps that the muscles of the foot are somewhat similar to those in the hand.

[@vanessaviramontesPLNU]

Dr. Goodin, It was so exciting learning about each of the major joints of the body ( again) but this time with ease and clarity through your amazing class. Thank you for a semester long of fun and engaging content!

[@jakegonzales1367]

Props to you for making all these very detailed videos. what stood out to me in this video are the peroneus muscles. Never learned about these muscles until this video lecture.

[@AnnaEngels0022]

Great video again! I had never heard the comparison between walkers and sprinters and the soleus and gastrocnemius soreness. Seeing each individual muscle on it's own slide is always super helpful!

[@morganrolleri9198]

All of your videos have been so helpful for me and my understanding of the body. The way you explained all the muscles in the ankle and how you grouped them so it would be easy to understand their action was very helpful. Thank you for making such creative and informative videos this semester!

[@BrianaReynoso]

The format of the video always is so clear and helps me break down the muscle actions! It's also very helpful when doing my individual palpitation videos!

[@jessedemuth4289]

This is a great video to come back to to review foot and ankle muscles. It can be really easy to mix up these muscles but I like how much easier it is to know the action when you learn the origin and insertion.

[@kennyvogan5673]

There are a lot more muscles of the lower limb than I thought, and yet what we talking about most is spraining out ankle because of the stretch of our ligaments. It is important to biuld these muscles to help prevent injuries. Thank you for sharing!

[@jamarmack9626]

The very first slide that explained the movements based on each muscle's location really helped me remember what each muscle does.

[@willhopkins4197]

These videos have been so helpful throughout this class. Still crazy to think that this is just scratching the surface of how complex our body is!

[@nicolelewis3329]

Thank you so much for everything! This has been one of my favorite classes because I love to apply what I learn here to my workouts in the gym. Thank you again!

[@HBchun]

Thank you so much Dr. Goodin for teaching me so much about the human body and for making me more aware of how important strength and conditioning is for the body! I enjoyed this class so much!

[@xaviergamez5745]

I appreciate the visuals you provide as this gives me the general concept of the muscles' location and function. They also help guide any questions that I can bring to class when we do palpations.

[@macynunez4455]

Absolutely loved hearing about your love-hate relationship with the tibialis posterior. What a sick turnout that has been! Can't believe we are already near the end, thank you for these in depth and creative videos that are very useful even outside of covid quarantine! It has been an awesome learning experience for sure.

[@Chasebowen23]

Great last video of the semester time to rewatch them all for the final!

[@zanedirenzo5820]

This video was really helpful in learning the muscles of the lower leg and learning about what muscle actions they perform.

[@sydneycheng2264]

How crazy that this is the last lecture video - they’ve been so incredibly helpful and informative, and I really appreciate all the effort you put into them

[@ellieconiaris9073]

The way you explained the muscle actions and the groupings was great I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of them now

[@audreyoates3242]

The way you explained the muscle actions and the groupings was very helpful. Really enjoyed these videos!

[@madelinehernandez8838]

Wow, can't believe we made it to the end, what a great video to end off with.

[@kylesands9693]

This semester flew by! Thanks so much for helping me gain so much knowledge about the human body in such a short amount of time Dr. Goodin🐐!

[@MaryErickson335]

thanks for sharing your story about your running/teaching career! I like hearing about how people got into their passions

[@tianguyen3897]

I appreciate how this video was organized because it helped me learn the actions and muscles better! Thank you for a geat semester. I cannot believe how fast this semester flew by.

[@joshwillbanks851]

This was a very helpful review, especially for those reminders of how the muscles pull the foot into different actions. I usually find it hard to visualize how flexors of the ankle attach and pull, so this was very helpful in that area!

[@makennakaczmarczyk7563]

This video helped me better understand the muscle actions of each muscle in the foot by paying attention to their location!

[@michaelfischer3691]

Great explanations of the muscles involved with the ankle and foot!!

[@matthewdato]

This was a great review from A&P! I liked how you broke down the muscles and their actions and how efficient you taught them!

[@emmaforney5084]

Can't believe this was the last video of the course! It truly flew by. I really enjoyed this last video. It was a good refresher of BIO1030.

[@hannahkefalas9995]

The figures showing the insertions were really clear and helpful. thanks for a great semester!!

[@brimonzon1702]

Thanks for all the videos!! Very clear and helpful throughout this entire semester!

[@braedenmoore9050]

Thank you for a great semester! These videos have been very helpful and interesting! I'm definitely grateful to be back learning in person instead of everything online.

[@bensonmutuvi8429]

ill definitely be keeping in touch with this account in the years to come. Thanks for making this class enjoyable!

[@abartsch0022]

It is wild tho think that this is the last video out of the series. Thank you for teaching us so much about the human body and how all these muscles move to allow us to carry on our daily lives. That is cool how you shared how the tibialis posterior is what got you into structural kinesiology. The ankle is a very complex joint with a ton of muscles.

[@emilyannhively]

always love how organized your videos are!

[@isabellecousineau302]

Thank you so much for posting these videos! They have been a great tool to help me study for the IRATS, other quizzes/tests and palpation videos.

[@hannahb872]

I liked your take at looking back at when your running career came to an end, but it opened up a new area of learning for you into the teaching world of sports & exercise. A good life lesson in that, thanks for sharing!

[@dianalira6870]

How can this be the lecture video! We have come so far since the head and the spinal cord. These videos have been a great way to review the body.

[@JulissanJuarez]

Great video! The breakdown of each muscle is so helpful especially when studying for our IRATs.

[@dimitricarrion105]

I liked how you talked about the advantages that people have with a higher calf insertion, leading to a longer Achilles.

[@evaozimec]

You have the best lecture videos by far plus great tunes! Thank you for making these videos engaging and making one of the hardest subjects just a little bit easier to understand. One of the aspects that you taught me was that the location of a muscle corresponds to its direction of pull. Such as, the muscles on the anterior aspect of the forearm are flexors and the muscles medially on the foot are invertors.

[@caleighgarcia7792]

These videos are very helpful when trying to study as they allow me to rewatch and take more detailed notes.

[@nathanshoup7132]

Seeing how the whole entire field is so connected and your story of becoming a professional from the tibialis posterior is inspiring. These videos have been a great guide for me to understand this course and even more so the human body. Thank you Doctor Goodin.

[@bojak76]

Props to everyone for making it through this semester! yay last video! Thanks Doc!

[@estherh513]

Great video! I learned a lot about the foot and it’s muscles and how they work to create different movements.

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

It is so interesting how a personal experience, like your injury can actually launch your career in a different way!

[@graysonkelle3994]

It’ll be really surreal to go back and watch videos like this (like you said in your intro) without a pandemic. Thank you for being so understanding and helpful through this semester.

[@kaileyaraki1180]

Thank you for such a great semester. It's so interesting to hear about what got you into teaching.

[@emilydelmont3490]

The tibialis posterior is so cool and I had never heard of it before!

[@timnoveda4004]

This video was really helpful. I like how the video was structured, it made it easy to remember and learn the muscles and their actions.

[@ReaganCole-f4k]

Going through all of the muscle actions helped me to understand them in a more detailed way

[@iNoRiJoY13]

I found the tips in the beginning where you explained the muscles and actions being grouped according to location & function really helpful in memorizing them :)

[@devynpryor8228]

This semester flew by! Thank you for filming all these incredibly informative videos! They were so much more relatable and easy to follow along with, than other kinesiology/anatomy lectures.

[@anthonymartinez8962]

Great job explaining the different muscle fibers in the gastrocnemius and soleus. It makes a lot of sense why my soleus is sore after walking around campus all day!

[@maggiewolf5692]

I love learning about the ankle because of the amount of issues I have had with them! The extensor digatiorum longus muscle is my fav very cool
