NCT ID: NCT02598843 Completed - Clinical trials for Rupture of Achilles Tendon

Standard Non Operative Treatment Versus Accelerated Rehabilitation of Achilles Tendon Ruptures

Start date: November 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to directly compare traditional plaster treatment with early weightbearing in a walking boot for the non operative treatment of acute achilles tendon rupture.

NCT ID: NCT02308618 Completed - Clinical trials for Rupture, Spontaneous

Rehabilitation Programs After Achilles Tendon Rupture

Start date: March 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of early mobilization versus traditional immobilization rehabilitation programs after surgical Achilles tendon repair on the mechanical (torque-angle and torque-velocity relationships) and electrical (neuromuscular activation) properties of the plantar- and dorsiflexor muscles, gastrocnemius medialis morphology (muscle architecture), functional performance, and the mechanical and material properties (force-elongation and stress-strain relationships) of the injured and uninjured Achilles tendon. The hypothesis is that the early mobilization could reduce the deleterious effects of the joint immobilization and improve the tendon healing.

NCT ID: NCT02307708 Terminated - Chronic Disease Clinical Trials

Reeducation of Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy by Wearing Shoes Inclined Versus Reeducation by Kinesitherapy

TARCI
Start date: January 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to compare the treatment by wearing shoes inclined at kinesitherapy because it is the first treatment offered by primary care physicians in chronic Achilles tendinopathy.

NCT ID: NCT01785264 Completed - Clinical trials for Rupture of Achilles Tendon

Treatment Results After Acute Rupture of the Achilles Tendon.

Start date: February 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To compare the end-results of three different methods of treatment of acute achilles tendon ruptures, it is necessary to establish identical rehabilitation protocols. Traditionally, early mobilization has been reserved for patients treated surgically and this may have unintentionally skewed treatment results. The investigators have therefore designed a prospective randomized trial performed as collaboration between Akershus University Hospital (Ahus), Oslo University Hospital (The Emergency Department), Østfold Hospital (Fredrikstad) and Drammen Hospital. The four institutions were chosen because of their geographical proximity and because they jointly have a substantial catchment area. Treatment is divided into three arms, and patients between 18 and 60 years of age sustaining first time achilles tendon ruptures will be invited to participate.
