This muscle group primarily acts on the knee; involved with flexion at the knee.This muscle is involved with plantar flexion of the foot (a ballet dancer would use this muscle to point his or her toes in a dance move, and plantar flexion is necessary for a ballet dancer to dance en pointe).This muscle is the prime mover (agonist) of dorsiflexion of the foot.
