A tendon formed by the union of two muscles,the gastrocnemius and the soleus, which join in the mid-calf area and are known as the gastroc-soleal complex.
The tendon at the back of the heel connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone.
The large tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. It is prone to inflammation and tearing when exercising incorrectly or your warm up and stretching is not done adequately before exercising.
a large tendon that runs from the heel to the calf
the strong tendon joining the calf muscles to the heel bone
The strongest tendon in the body. It runs from the calf muscle to the heel bone.
The major tendon in the ankle area that connects the major muscles of the calf (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus). When these muscles shorten (contract) they extend the foot. This tendon can become inflamed through overtraining or from shoes that are poorly designed.
A tough sinew that attaches the calf muscle to the back of the heel bone. The Achilles tendon is one of the longest tendons in the body. It is also called the tendo Achilles or the tendo calcaneus, the calcaneus being the heel bone. See the entire definition of Achilles tendon
The tendon at the back of the ankle
The strong tendon joining the muscles in the calf of the leg to the bone in the heel.
the tendon at the back of the lower leg that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone
The heavy tendon attached to the oscalsis or heel bone. Acts as a lever in raising the foot off the ground.
The large tendon running from the heel bone to the calf muscle of the leg.
A tendon that connects the heel to the muscle at the back of the lower leg.
One of the longest tendons in the body, it attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone.
The Achilles tendon (or occasionally Achilles’ tendon) or the calcaneal tendon is a tendon of the posterior leg. It serves to attach the gastrocnemius (calf) and soleus muscles to the calcaneus (heel) bone.
