Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate how fear of reinjury to the Achilles tendon affects return to previous levels of physical activity and self‐reported Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) outcomes.
Methods
Data were collected from a large cohort of patients treated for an acute Achilles tendon rupture at Sahlgrenska University...
Background
As the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is increasing in orthopaedic research, there is also a growing need for a standardized interpretation of these scores, such as the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), defined as the value beyond which patients consider themselves well. The Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score (A...
Purpose
There is a lack of knowledge concerning differences between females and males in the early stages after an acute Achilles tendon rupture. This article aims to explore the different factors affecting early function after an Achilles tendon rupture with a validated test battery that includes functional tests, clinical measurements and patient...
Introduction
The incidence of Achilles tendon ruptures (ATR) has increased over the past few decades. Treatment may be individualised based upon multiple factors including age, pre-injury activity level and the separation of the ruptured tendon ends. Several studies indicate that women may have a poorer self-reported and clinical outcome compared w...
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate how the Achilles tendon resting angle (ATRA), an indirect measurement of tendon elongation, correlates with ultrasonography (US) measurements of the Achilles tendon length 6 and 12 months after an acute ATR and relates to other clinical outcome measurements such as heel-rise height, jumping ability a...
Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury, especially among runners. It should be divided into midportion Achilles tendinopathy and insertional Achilles tendinopathy, as the treatments are different. Achilles tendinopathy is a clinical diagnosis, which includes a combination of pain, swelling and stiffness. If pain is located 2-6 cm above th...
