Achilles tendon tilts foot upwards and out?
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.
What joints do dorsiflexion and plantarflexion?
Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion primarily occur at the ankle joint. Dorsiflexion involves lifting the foot upwards towards the shin, while plantarflexion involves pointing the toes downward away from the shin. These movements are facilitated by the tibiofibular joint, with the primary muscles involved being the tibialis anterior for dorsiflexion and the gastrocnemius and soleus for plantarflexion.
Why do your toes help you count to 20?
