- Abstract
- This review article attempts to describe several pathological conditions that can arise from the shortening of the Achilles tendon. The tension and tightening of the gastrocnemius-soleus-Achilles tendon complex (GSAC) can cause disharmony in the movement of the entire foot as well as the ankle joint when subjected to weight-bearing or walking. In addition, since these phenomena are observed in various lesions of the ankle joint, the dynamic shortening caused by the tension of GSAC may not be the primary cause of various ankle joint lesions, but is still considered to be a significant contributing factor.
