Which muscles are used for ankle dorsiflexion?

By better understanding the muscles required for ankle dorsiflexion, we can create a more direct and specific training plan to improve our ankle mobility. Ankle dorsiflexion is the movement of bringing the top of the foot towards the shin, and is typically controlled by the muscles in the front of the lower leg. The main muscles responsible for ankle dorsiflexion are the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, and extensor hallucis longus. These muscles originate on the tibia and fibula bones in the lower leg and attach to the bones in the foot, allowing them to flex the ankle joint and bring the top of the foot towards the shin.
