TechnicalRegister
A limitation of upward foot movement in which the ankle cannot bend past a right angle.
A tight calf produced an ankle equinus that shifted extra load onto the forefoot.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
