The extensor hallucis brevis is a muscle on the top of the foot that helps to extend the big toe. Structure
In anatomy, extension is a movement of a joint that increases the angle between two bones or body surfaces at a joint. Extension usually results in straightening of the bones or body surfaces involved. For example, extension is produced by extending the flexed (bent) elbow. Straightening of the arm would require extension at the elbow joint.
Inserts on the dorsal side of the base of the distal phalanx of the big toe: Artery: Anterior tibial artery: Nerve: Deep fibular nerve, L5 (L4-S1) Actions: Extends (raises) the big toe and assists in dorsiflexion of the foot at the ankle.

The vastus lateralis has been shown to engage more during the movement when toes are pointed inward. The rectus femoris engages more when the toes are pointed outward. [8] Research has shown, that performing the leg extension with the hip flexion at a 40-degree angle rather than the typical 80-degree angle can promote more rectus femoris ...
The gluteus maximus straightens the leg at the hip; when the leg is flexed at the hip, the gluteus maximus extends it to bring the leg into a straight line with the body. [3] The anus also aligns when the leg is flexed at the hip, making the muscle tighten and the pelvis tilt forward.
The only movements permitted in the joints of the digits are flexion and extension; these movements are more extensive between the first and second phalanges than between the second and third. The flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus flex the interphalangeal joint of the big toe and lateral four toes, respectively. The tendons of ...
