abducts the toes
flexes hip and/or lumbar spine
adduct (retract) scapula
connective tissue bands
plantar flexion at ankle
originates on ilium
flexes elbow
dorsiflexes ankle and inverts foot
lateral rotation of humerus at shoulder
supinates forearm
extends, adducts, medially rotates humerus at shoulder

The large gastrocnemius and the soleus ate the foot’s plantar flexor. The soleus acts synergistically to the gastrocnemius and it increases the speed and the force of the plantar flexion.
