Sistema Aquíleo Calcáneo Plantar

Abstract

The Achillean-calcaneous-plantar system was described by Professors Arandes and Viladot the year 1953 showing how the sural triceps that finishes in the Achilles’ tendon, reflects itself in the tuberosity of the calcaneus bone, continuing with the plantar aponeurosis and the short plantar muscles, until insertion in the toes. This was, from a biomechanical point of view, a great advance for the understanding of the walk, the run and the jump in the homo erectus.
