An antagonist to the gastrocnemius is the?
tibialis anterior muscle. It is located in the front of the lower leg and performs dorsiflexion of the foot, which is the opposite movement of the plantarflexion action of the gastrocnemius muscle.
Which muscle involoves dorsiflexion and inversion of the foot?
The anterior and posterior compartment of the leg Anterior compartment: - Tibialis Anterior - Extensor Digitorium Longus - Extensor Hallucis Longus Posterior compartment: Deep: - Tibialis Posterior - Flexor Digitorium Longus - Flexor Digitorium Brevis
What is the antagonist of plantarflexion?
Tibilias anterior.
Nerve supply of the tibialis anterior muscle?

What is the medical term meaning inflammation of the anterior tibialis tendon?

Which muscle is the prime mover for foot inversion?
tibialis posteriorTibialis anterior and posterior tibialis posterior
What muscle is an antagonist to the gastrocnemius?
i believe its tibialis anterior

What is the opposite muscle to the tibialis anterior?
The opposite muscle to the tibialis anterior is the gastrocnemius muscle, which is located at the back of the lower leg. The tibialis anterior is responsible for dorsiflexion of the foot (bringing the toes toward the shin), while the gastrocnemius is responsible for plantarflexion of the foot (pointing the toes away from the shin).
