Deformity - contracture. A contracture develops when the normally stretchy (elastic) tissues are replaced by nonstretchy (inelastic) fiber-like tissue. This tissue makes it hard to stretch the area and prevents normal movement.

Equinus is the contracture of a joint- in this case the ankle joint. There are many reasons for this but ultimately what happens in the inability to place the heel on the ground properly when walking and loss of range of motion of joint.
Equinus is a result of tightness in the Achilles tendon or calf muscles (the soleus muscle and/or gastrocnemius muscle) and it may be either congenital or acquired. This condition is found equally in men and women, and it can occur in one foot, or both.
During these periods of rapid growth, muscle contractures can occur, especially equinus deformity. Equinus is defined as the inability to dorsiflex the ankle enough to allow the heel to contact the supporting surface without some form of compensa- tion in the mechanics of the lower limb and foot.
A muscle contracture is a permanent shortening of a muscle or joint. It is usually in response to prolonged hypertonic spasticity in a concentrated muscle area, such as is seen in the tightest muscles of people with conditions like spastic cerebral palsy.
