Techniques such as blood flow restriction training (BFRT) and progressive loading to restore strength and tendon mechanical properties are discussed in the context of optimizing recovery, minimizing tendon elongation and facilitating safe return to sport (RTS).
9 gru 2021 · The present study aimed to identify evidenced-based specific protocol (s) to rehabilitate surgically repaired acute mid-substance Achilles tendon rupture, and query a highly experienced panel of experts. From this review and query, proposed consensus statements informing pathways for future research were then produced.
This protocol is intended to guide clinicians through the post-operative course for Achilles tendon repair. This protocol is time based (dependent on tissue healing) as well as criterion based.
Limit dorsiflexion to neutral for the first six weeks. Assistive device and CAM boot should be able to be discontinued with controlled environments by eight weeks post-surgery. Gait pattern and return to all activities is anticipated at 14-16 weeks post-surgery. Begin progressing into sports participation at 24 weeks.
