The muscles involved in extending the ankle, also known as plantar flexion, include the gastrocnemius, fibularis brevis, fibularis longus, plantaris, soleus, and tibialis posterior. These muscles work together to point the toes away from the shin, which is the action of ankle extension or plantar flexion.
