Rupture, Spontaneous Clinical Trial
Official title:
Achilles Tendon Rupture: Comparative Study Between Two Rehabilitation Programs.
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.
Participants were allocated into one of two intervention groups (traditional immobilization
or early mobilization).
Traditional immobilization group (45 days of plaster cast immobilization; after the
immobilization period, subjects received instructions on how to perform a home-based
exercise program)
Early mobilization (six weeks of physical therapy program; three times per week; one to two
hours of exercises for regaining range of motion and muscular endurance)
Control group (subjects had no history of lower limb injury, and were matched in age and
anthropometric measurements to subjects that performed physical rehabilitation and to
subjects that remained immobilized.
