Plantar flexion is A movement exhibited by ankle joint where the foot flexes away from the body.
The main muscles that cause plantar flexion our gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris. Other muscles associated with plantarflexion are flexor hallucis longus, tibialis posterior, perineus brevis and longus, flexor digitorum longus.
Gastrocnemius and soleus muscles form a common tendon that attaches the muscle to the calcaneum bone known as Achilles tendon. Achilles tendon also provides attachment to plantaris muscle.
Tibialis posterior inserts at the navicular bone and medial cuneiform and the base of second, third and fourth metatarsal.
Flexor hallucis longus tendon inserts at the plantar surface of base of distal phalanx of great toe.
Flexor digitorum longus tendon terminates at the base of last phalanges of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th toes.

Peroneus longus tendon inserts at lateral side of base of 1st metatarsal bone and lateral medial cuneiform bone.
Peroneus brevis tendon insert into the lateral side of the base of fifthmetata
