The Achilles tendon is responsible for connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone, allowing for plantarflexion of the foot (pointing the toes downward). It does not directly control the tilting of the foot upwards and out. Tilting the foot upwards and out is typically controlled by the muscles in the lower leg, such as the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus.
