Description
Struggling with heel lift or walking on toes after limb lengthening?
This is a common issue during recovery — but it has clear causes and solutions.
In this video from Height Increase Info, we explain why heel lift happens and how to correct your gait effectively through physiotherapy.
Why does heel lift occur?
There are two primary reasons:
1. Muscle & Tendon Tightness
• Tight triceps surae (calf muscle group)
• Shortened Achilles tendon
• Limits ankle dorsiflexion (upward movement)
2. Joint & Ligament Stiffness
• Prolonged ankle immobility during lengthening
• Thickening of ligaments
• Tight joint capsule restricting movement
This leads to:
➡️ Incomplete heel contact
➡️ Toe-dominant walking pattern
➡️ Abnormal gait mechanics
How to Fix It:
Recovery depends on consistent physiotherapy and targeted exercises:
✔️ Calf stretching (daily, controlled)
✔️ Eccentric calf strengthening exercises
✔️ Ankle joint mobility drills
✔️ Gradual weight-bearing correction
✔️ Gait training (heel-to-toe walking pattern)
The goal is to restore:
➡️ Full ankle mobility
➡️ Proper heel strike
➡️ Smooth heel-to-toe transition
Early intervention and disciplined rehab are critical to prevent long-term gait issues.
