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 muscle
- extensor hallucis longus muscle
- extensor digitorum longus muscle
- peroneus tertius
