Equinus contracture is a condition in which the upward bending motion of the ankle joint is limited, lacking the flexibility to lift the top of the foot. This happens due to either tightness of the muscles and/or tendons in the calf. This condition can occur in one or both feet.
When the ankle joint lacks flexibility and upward, toes-to-shin movement of the foot (dorsiflexion) is limited, the condition is called equinus. 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.
Medical conditions such as diabetes, which cause muscles to stiffen. Immobilization following ankle or foot trauma – particularly if the ankle is splinted in an downward or plantarflexed (equinus) position. Nerve injury, which can cause an imbalance of muscles in the leg causing the gastrocnemius muscle to tighten.
Plantar flexion is the movement that allows you to press the gas pedal of your car. It also allows ballet dancers to stand on their toes. The term plantar flexion refers to the movement of the foot in a downward motion away from the body.
