Variation in muscle activation can control the movement of the ankle joint, allowing the foot to generate graduated force. Muscles that generate movement at the ankle are generally found in the lower leg and can be split into three categories.
Major muscles of the ankle. There are also multiple muscles in the ankle that can be strained, as follows: The peroneal muscles (peroneus longus and peroneus brevis), on the outside edge of the ankle and foot.
