The muscles acting on the foot can be divided into two distinct groups; extrinsic and intrinsic muscles. 1  The extrinsic muscles arise from the anterior, posterior and lateral compartments of the leg.2  They are mainly responsible for actions such as eversion, inversion, plantarflexion and dorsiflexion of the foot.

Many muscles that power foot movements begin as high up as the back of the knee and extend down to the foot. Possibly the most important structure in the lower leg is the Achilles tendon. It connects three musclesâthe plantaris, calf, and soleusâto the heel bone.
