In a medical certificate these are described as being normal. What are the English terms for these parts of the foot?

plantar extensors and flexors
Explanation:
That would be the translation of the passage as you are giving it here. However, it is much more usual to find the action described, rather than the parts of the body. Thus one would be more likely to say that plantar flexion and extension is normal or that the plantar reflex is normal than to say that the plantar extensors and flexors are normal.
