In order to properly perform the stretch for the right peroneals, how should you instruct your client to hold his/her right knee joint?

To effectively stretch the right peroneals, holding the right knee joint in a fully extended position is crucial. The peroneal muscles, also referred to as the fibularis muscles, are located on the lateral side of the lower leg and play a significant role in foot eversion and ankle stability.

When the knee is fully extended, it places the peroneals in a lengthened position, which allows for optimal stretching of these muscles. This position helps to target the lateral aspects of the lower leg more effectively, maximizing the benefits of the stretch. Additionally, a fully extended knee reduces the potential for compensation from other muscle groups that might occur if the knee were flexed, ensuring that the stretch is isolated to the peroneals.

Using this specific joint position during the stretch increases the range of motion and flexibility in the peroneals, which can help prevent injuries and improve overall lower limb functionality.
