There’s a chance, though, that his palm is rugged from carrying a newborn calf across a field to the house, where he spends the rest of the night holding its life in his arms praying it makes it ‘til morning.

(Lippert,2011). ‘As the process of moving joints, limbs or specific sections of the body’. Motion in relation to the plantar flex is achieved by the calf muscles, which are called the superficial muscles. These muscles share a tendon called the Achilles tendon otherwise known as the Calcaneal.
