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".

musculus triceps surae
