Early Neuromechanical Outcomes of the Triceps Surae Muscle-Tendon After an Achilles' Tendon Repair

Early Neuromechanical Outcomes of the Triceps Surae Muscle-Tendon After an Achilles' Tendon Repair

Abstract Objectives To compare the neuromechanical and functional characteristics of the legs of athletes who underwent unilateral Achilles' tendon repair and their controls, and to determine any correlation between the characteristics. Design A case-control and cross-sectional study. Setting A...
