Question

Answer
Dear Antoine,

This Orthopedic Chicago Podiatrist located in West Loop 60661,Roscoe Village 60618, Ukrainian Village 60622, Elmhurst 60126 & Bartlett 60103 says..
A low calcaneal angle  means that the foot will be more pronated (flat-footed). The calcaneus is the heel bone. The calcaneal angle is an x-ray measurement of the position of the heel bone when standing.
Hope this helps & Good Luck!
