Achilles Tendon

The Achilles tendon is the tendon of the triceps surae (gastrocnemius and soleus muscles), located behind the ankles and attaches to the calcaneal tuber (heel bone).

The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body. It got its name in honor of the hero of ancient Greek myths Achilles, who, according to legend, was vulnerable only at the heel.

The Achilles tendon plays an important role in the biomechanics of foot and leg movements. It transmits the force of the calf muscles to the heel bone, ensuring extension of the foot and raising the toes. Damage to the Achilles tendon leads to gait disturbances and pain when walking.

The Achilles tendon, or Achilles tendon, is the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. It is one of the largest tendons in the human body.

The Achilles tendon is located on the back of the lower leg, behind the ankle. It consists of three parts: medial, lateral and middle. Each of these parts attaches to the heel bone.

The main function of the Achilles tendon is to provide movement of the foot during walking, running and other movements. It also plays an important role in maintaining body balance.

However, if the Achilles tendon is damaged or stretched, it can lead to serious health problems. For example, a sprained or torn tendon can lead to pain and limited movement in the foot.

To prevent damage to the Achilles tendon, it is necessary to properly train the muscles of the lower leg and foot. It is also important to avoid putting too much stress on your legs and to distribute your weight correctly when lifting heavy objects.

The Achilles tendon or tendon **Achilles** is part of the triceps gastrocnemius-soleus muscle, which runs from the lower border of the distal knee joint to the middle of the ankle joint, the posterior side of the calcaneal tubercle. It is the main fixing element of the foot and is directly connected to the plantar fascia. Tendon formation begins in the soleus plantar flexor muscle fiber.
