Best Answer

When you walk, there is plantar-flex-ion. So main function of foot is walking. So for planter-flex-ion you need more movement and power to lift the body weight. Power is provided by powerful muscles, those are Gastrocnemius and Sole-us muscles. (Calf muscles.) For Dorsiflexion you do not require much range of movement and power to lift a small body part, that is foot itself only.
