What are the names of the 2 lateral ankle muscles that create plantar flexion and eversion of the foot?
tibialis anterior
What is the function of the tibialis posterior?
A thick, flat, deep muscle in the posterior compartment of the lower leg. The tibialis posterior has extensive origins on the posterior, proximal surface of the tibia, fibula, and interosseus membrane. Its insertion is on the tarsal and metatarsal bones via a tendon that passes behind the medial malleolus and under the arch of the foot. Its primary actions are plantar flexion and inversion. It also helps to stabilize the longitudinal arch, especially during skating.
What are the prime movers for plantar flexion?
I was asking the same question. I think it probably is the Gastrocnemius muscle but I'm having trouble confirming that. It could also potentially be the Soleus muscle.Alternatively you could say that it is the Triceps Suraemuscle which refers to both the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus as a single muscle. This is a legitamite anatomical description seeing as the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus both attach via the Calcaneus tendon. The Triceps Surae is what is commonly refered to as the "calf muscle".
What is pointing the toes downward?
Plantar Flexion
What does a normal plantar reflex look like?
It results in flexion of the toes
What muscle is the synergist of plantar flexion of the foot?
There are two: tibialis anterior and the peroneus tertius.
What is the antagonist of plantarflexion?
Tibilias anterior.
What is the antagonist of the tibialis posterior muscle?
Tibialis Posterior
What is the antagonist muscle in ankle plantar flexion?
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
What muscles are agonists in plantar flexion?
The opposite of plantar flexion is dorsiflexion. Plantar flexion means to increase the angle at the ankle, as in tip-toeing. The muscles involved in dorsiflexion (picking up the toes) are:tibialis anterior muscleextensor hallucis longus muscleextensor digitorum longus muscleperoneus tertius
Prime movers of planter flexion of the foot?
extensor digitorum longus, the extensor hallucus longus and the peroneus tertius muscles help dorsi flexiontibialis anterior
What are the names of the 2 lateral ankle muscles that create plantar flexion and eversion of the foot?
tibialis anterior
What is the opposite muscle to the tibialis anterior?
The gastrocnemius (plantar flexes the foot) is the muscle which is opposite of the tibialis anterior dorsiflexor of the foot).
What muscles plantar flex and evert the foot?

Where does plantar flexion occur?
Plantar flexion occurs in your feet.
