Extensors

Bridging is a good exercise to do that as it works your buttocks (including gluteals), low back, and hip extensors.

As the hip extensors change from reciporatory inhibitors to primary muscle movers, the lower extremity is brought back toward the ground, although aided greatly by the stretch reflex and gravity.

In turn, these two groups can be subdivided into subgroups or layers — the anterior group consists of the extensors and the peroneals, and the posterior group of a superficial and a deep layer.

Terminal swing then begins as hip flexion continues to the point of activation of the stretch reflex of the hip extensors.

The extensor hallucis longus has its origin on the fibula and the interosseus membrane between the two other extensors and is, similarly to the extensor digitorum, is inserted on the last phalanx of big toe ("hallux").

The extensors are located on the back of the forearm and are connected in a more complex way than the flexors to the dorsum of the fingers.

The extensors are situated within 6 separate compartments.

The extrinsic muscles are the long flexors and extensors.

The hip extensors continue contracting along with help from the acceleration of gravity and the stretch reflex left over from maximal hip flexion during the terminal swing phase.

The primary function of the extensors is to straighten out the digits.

The short intrinsic extensors and the plantar and dorsal interossei radiates into these aponeuroses.

Three of the anterior muscles are extensors.
