Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to gain insights into the effects of Blood Flow Restriction Exercise (BFRE) in patients with an acute Achilles tendon Rupture. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is BFRE an effective adjunct to usual care when compared with only usual care? When is the optimal timing for initiating BFRE: In the early treatment stage or at the later stage after hospital treatment? Participants will receive an intervention comprising 12 weeks of BFRE as an adjunct to usual care. - Either in the initial 1-12 weeks after Achilles tendon rupture, or - In the following 13-24 weeks after Achilles tendon rupture Researchers will compare the two groups at 13 weeks to compare BFRE to usual care, and at 25 weeks to compare the two time points for initiating BFRE (early vs. late).
Retrospective Case Series to investigate the effect a bovine collagen patch to augmented repair in acute Achilles tendon rupture with pre-existing tendinopathy
This prospective study is to compare the rehabilitation effect between the patients with achilles tendon rupture using traditional rehabilitation protocol and acupuncture-assisted rehabilitation protocol. The main question it aims to answer is whether acupuncture is an effective rehabilitation treatment. The patients are divided into the traditional rehabilitation group and acupuncture assisted rehabilitation group. The time of return to light sports activity and other indicators of the two groups will be compared.
This project will assess the clinical outcomes of individuals completing rehabilitation for their Achilles tendon rupture at the University Hospitals of Leicester. Patients attending the Achilles tendon rupture clinic or rehabilitation classes will be asked to complete ultrasound imaging, strength testing and questionnaires. This will provide an insight into the rehabilitation outcomes of a broad range of patients at each rehabilitation timepoint.
