Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the swing phase of gait, the ankle dorsiflexors (such as the tibialis anterior) are more active to lift the foot and clear it from the ground. The ankle plantar flexors (such as the gastrocnemius and soleus) are more active during the stance phase to push off the ground. The gluteus maximus and medius help to stabilize the hip during both swing and stance phases.
