Introduction

Acute Achilles Tendon Ruptures (ATR) cause lasting muscular deficits and impair function and quality of life. This study aimed to understand recovery post rupture by examining tendon structure using ultrasound tissue characterisation (UTC), isometric plantarflexor strength, physical activity and patient reported outcomes (PROM).

Methods

Cross-sectional study design consisting of 90 participants. Data were collected from 15 participants at six different rehabilitation timepoints (0, 8, 10 weeks, 4, 6, 12 months). Participants were recruited from a National Health Service clinic using non-surgical management.
