What do calves compensate for?
The calf muscles are used to get a “push” of the foot into the ground. This simple activity is part of the normal gait process. But when the hip has not fully extended then the calf muscle must work over-time. When this compensation is in play, you may observe that the person “bounces” or seems to walk on their toes.
