The aim of our study was to evaluate whether the length of the free part of the Achilles tendon affects the mobility of the ankle joint in active motion without a load, as well as in functional motion with a body-weight load. We examined 36 healthy people, aged 21 to 30 years, and divided them into two groups: 1 (n = 15)—participants with a normal range of dorsiflexion in the ankle joint (20° or more), and 2 (n = 21)—participants with a reduced range of dorsiflexion in the ankle joint (below 20°). The length of the free part of the Achilles tendon was measured using ultrasonography. Ankle joint range of dorsiflexion was assessed, and a weight-bearing lunge test (WBLT) was conducted. Group 1 performed the WBLT better and demonstrated significantly greater Achilles tendon length compared to Group 2. A moderate, significant correlation was observed between ankle joint range of dorsiflexion and Achilles tendon length (r = 0.53, p < 0.05); between WBLT and Achilles tendon length (r = 0.61, p < 0.05); as well as between ankle joint range of dorsiflexion and WBLT (r = 0.63, p < 0.05). Thus, we can suggest that both the length of the tendon (measured by USG) and the ankle range of motion under a body-weight load (measured by WBLT) are good indicators regarding the range of foot dorsiflexion, but only up to specific values (6 cm of tendon length and 11 cm of WBLT reach). Therefore, Achilles tendon length, e.g., after injury and during tendon healing, may be monitored using the method of ultrasound imaging presented in this study.
