extensor digitorum longus, the extensor hallucus longus and the peroneus tertius muscles help dorsi flexion
tibialis anterior
Plantar flexion is the muscle movement in which the foot moves downward. The two primary muscles involved in plantar flexion are the gastrocnemius and soleus.
The tibialis anterior.
tibialis anterior
The gastrocnemius
Dorsi flexion is the movement of bringing your foot up towards your knee. The opposite movement is planter flexion which is moving your foot away from your knee as if standing on your tip toes.
Turning the palm of the hand upward is called supination. 'He held his hands up asking for his supper.' You don't really turn your sole of your foot in the same way but you do 'pick up your toes' in what is called dorsal flexion. The top of the foot is the dorsum of the foot. Just as the back of your hand is called the dorsal of the hand.
plantar flexion
The bending of the foot at the ankle has been argued which movenment is flexion and which extendtion. So to avoid arguemnet both lifting and lowerng the foot at the ankle was termed flexion. Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion respectively.

Planter Fibroma
Plantar flexion is a movement of the foot which takes the toes further away from the shin. The foot falls down at the ankle. It occurs when you stand on your tiptoes.
Plantar flexion
Flexing or moving the sole of your foot.
Plantar Flexion
Fibularis Longus and Fibularis Brevis are both Plantar Flexes, page 222 of the Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manual (Elaine N. Marieb and Susan J. Mitchell. The prime movers for plantar flexion are the gastrocnemius and soleus (known together as the triceps surae). The gastrocnemius is the larger of the two muscles and is the one visible if you "flex" the calf by lifting your heel off the ground and putting pressure on the front of the foot.
Dorsiflexion is moving your foot upwards toward you. Plantar flexion is when you move it down away from you.
