A potential consequence of this type of therapy or healing would be the atrophy of the gastrocnemius muscles. The gastrocnemius muscles are the muscles of the calves. These muscles are involved in all the movements of the lower body and they facilitate mostly our forward movements.

The tibia is the bone that holds the gastrocnemius in place. Without movement for six weeks, muscle atrophy would occur because muscle contractions will not voluntary be done by the individual for the duration of immobilization.
