Arthritis is inflammation affecting the joints. Several different tissues can be affected by arthritis, including: Cartilage, the tissue cushioning the ends of bones, preventing bone-on-bone ...
This lack of blood supply can lead to the degradation of collagen fibers and inflammation. [11] Tightness in the calf muscles has also been known to be involved in the onset of Achilles tendinitis. [12] During the loading phase of the running and walking cycle, the ankle and foot naturally pronate and supinate by approximately 5 degrees. [13]

In that same respect, the reduced knee flexion makes plantar flexion work comparable to a seated calf raise, due to the lessened stretch on the gastrocnemius (like the hamstring, also a knee flexor).
