Sir , how to draw heel bisector line ?
Make the patient prone. Bend the knee by 90 degrees. Keep the ankle in neutral position. Draw midline axis of heel. It should pass through 3rd toe if normal.

Langenskiold positive means that equinus is predominantly due to gastrocnemius involvement with sparing of soleus, gastrocnemius alone needs to be corrected.
