The muscles located in the leg that move the ankle and foot are divided into anterior, posterior, and lateral compartments. Anterior compartment: This compartment lies in front of the tibia and fibula and is surrounded by fascia. The anterior muscles dorsiflex the foot at the ankle and extend the toes. Lateral compartment: The muscles here sit on the outer side of the leg and help evert the foot. Posterior compartment: This larger compartment is on the back of the leg. It has two layers of muscles, which are divided by a section of fascia called the transverse intermuscular septum. The posterior muscles plantarflex the ankle and flex the toes.
