✨The Achilles tendon, also known as the calcaneal tendon, connects the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to the calcaneus (heel bone). Since the Achilles tendon is posteriorly, it is involved with pointing our toes downward, as in walking, running, or jumping. ✨The plantaris tendon, in its distal course, inserts into the calcaneal tendon.
