Achilles

Your Achilles is the strongest and thickest tendon in your body. With that said, it is one of the most commonly injured tendons. Direct trauma, unplanned dorsiflexion (foot forced upward), and forced plantar flexion (downward movement), are all common cause of Achilles injuries. If you have strained, torn, or ruptured your Achilles, it noticeably effects common movements such as walking, running, and jumping.
