The Achilles tendon is the most commonly injured tendon in the lower extremity, and can be treated either surgical or non-surgical. Previous studies have investigated early controlled motion and weight-bearing for non-surgically treated Achilles Tendon Rupture (ATR). Early motion may cause tendon elongation, which leads to decrease in push off strength, and thus potentially a poorer functional outcome. Conversely, delayed initiation of mobilisation and weight-bearing may similarly hinder or delay optimal recovery of function and return to work and sports. The correct treatment ...
