The relative stress on the Achilles tendon during ambulation in an ankle immobiliser: implications for rehabilitation after Achilles tendon repair

Background—After Achilles tendon repair, immediate weightbearing and immobilisation closer to neutral plantarflexion are thought to limit atrophy and stiffness, but may place deleterious stress on the repair. Objectives—To estimate the relative stress on the Achilles tendon during weightbearing with...
