Thorn (letter) Thorn or Ã¾orn (Ã¾, Ã¾) is a letter in the Old English, Gothic, Old Norse and modern Icelandic alphabets, as well as some dialects of Middle English. It was also used in medieval Scandinavia, but was later replaced with the digraph th, except in Iceland, where it survives.
Hip internal rotation exercises are designed to strengthen the groin, or adductor muscles of the inner thigh. These muscles bring the legs together while the outer hip muscles, called abductors, pull the legs apart. Muscular strength and flexibility imbalances can occur between the outer hip muscles and the groin muscles. Exercises can promote internal hip rotation to correct these imbalances.
The deep muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg are the popliteus, tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus. The gastrocnemius calf muscle is the most superficial of the calf muscles. It inserts onto the heel bone via the Achilles tendon. The gastrocnemius muscle flexes the foot at the ankle joint â that is it acts to point the foot downwards by bending it at the ankle joint, such as when you stand on your toes. This action is known as plantar flexion. The gastrocnemius also flexes the leg at the knee joint.
