Achilles tendonapophysiscalcaneal tuberositycartilagechildultrasonographyPurposeThe aim of this study was to describe typical age-related sonographic features of the Achilles tendon and calcaneal apophysis in children, providing a reference for the assessment of heel pathologies during the growth period....
The heel counter is one of my personal favorite areas of the shoe. I think it provides the shoe with its overall aesthetic tone. It has the opportunity to make a shoe conform to the foot and give the overall shape a lot of speed and performance–or do the exact opposite and make it ...
The calf muscles, including the gastrocnemius and soleus, join to form the strong calcaneal (Achilles) tendon of the heel and attach to the calcaneus bone in the heel. These muscles contract to plantar flex the foot --- such as when standing on your tiptoes --- and flex the toes. Shin...
Underneath this is the heel bone, aka the calcaneus. The Midfoot: The five bones of the midfoot are what make up our foot arches. They are arranged in a pyramid shape to be the shock absorbers of the feet. There is the navicular, cuboid and three cuneiform bones in the midfoot. The...
mechanism, because, thanks to its eccentric contraction, it helps the foot to reach the ground. The break of this muscle or the peroneal nerve palsy causes a faulty walking with irregular “slapping” of the foot at the contact with the surface, as the limb runs from heel hit to foot ...
The front or anterior process of calcaneus articulates with the cuboid bone to form the calcaneocuboid joint. The rear part of calcaneus consists of a large rounded projection, the calcaneal tuberosity, which forms the back of the heel and provides attachment for the Achilles tendon. The under...

The two heads merge in the upper calf region and form the bulky belly of the gastrocnemius muscle before tapering off into the Achilles tendon, which inserts into the calcaneus or heel bone. The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body, and it allows the powerful con...
