Limited dorsiflexion (upward movement) can be due to restricted joint mobility in prolonged immobilization - stiff ankle joint or contracted calf muscles. Nerve injury can also contribute but is less likely as it's characterised by foot drop. Please consult with a Physiotherapist in your locality as an assessment can help in knowing the exact cause and dysfunctions. Management vary from calf stretching protocols to use of splints or aids.
