Just like in the thigh area, to test for the tibial nerve – tapping the calcaneal tendon will produce a reflex contraction of the posterior muscles: namely: gastrocnemius and soleus. This will produce a strong plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle joint and tests for tibial nerve (L4-S3 – branch of sciatic nerve).
