The anterior leg muscles include the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, and extensor hallucis longus. The primary action of these muscles is dorsiflexion of the foot, which means lifting the toes and foot towards the shin. They also assist in extension of the toes. Plantar flexion and flexion of the toes are actions of the posterior leg muscles, while inversion and eversion of the foot are actions of the muscles in the lateral compartment of the leg. Abduction of the leg is an action of the hip muscles.
