Video Summary
Tamar Brand Perez, a physical therapist, discusses evaluating and strengthening the medial longitudinal arch, crucial for absorbing impact during activities like jumping and landing. Proper foot mechanics involve rear foot supination and forefoot pronation during a jump, reversing upon landing. To reinforce arch-supporting muscles such as the tibialis posterior, anterior, and fibularis longus, exercises like doming, single-leg stands, and squats are recommended. Progression includes isotonic exercises and dynamic movements, culminating in more complex activities like lunges and controlled jumps, ensuring balance and arch maintenance throughout.
