Soleus muscle

The soleus muscles are a group of muscles located on the back of the lower leg. One of them is the largest and is called the soleus muscle. It consists of two fibers that run parallel to each other along the entire length of the muscle.

The soleus muscles play an important role in maintaining balance and coordination of movements. They help keep the body upright and provide balance when walking and running. They are also involved in leg flexion and stability of the foot and ankle.

The soleus muscles are part of the extensor muscles of the foot. These muscles pull the foot down, allowing us to push off the ground with our feet and perform a variety of movements when walking, running or climbing stairs.
