Rehab for tight leg muscles and ankle pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a rehabilitation program for people with tight back leg muscles that cause ankle pain, trouble walking, or daily activity limits. It may help if you have chronic ankle pain or a condition like clubfoot.

This trial looks at children who have tightness, foot pain, and/or leg pain, as seen in a pediatric orthopedic clinic. The goal is to study this problem in children who otherwise seem healthy and do not have signs of a different underlying foot or medical condition.
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether starting movement exercises early after ankle surgery helps children with spastic cerebral palsy walk better and recover faster. The surgery corrects a tight ankle muscle (equinus deformity), and the trial compares early rehabilitation to standard care.
This study measures the strength and function of ankle muscles in people with chronic low back pain lasting over 3 months. Understanding how ankle muscles work may help explain why some people develop long-term low back pain.
This trial tests a specific type of muscle exercise (eccentric strengthening) to improve ankle strength and movement in people who have had a stroke or spinal cord injury within the last 6 months. It aims to help with muscle activation and structure.
This study tests a new needle-based method to lengthen a tight Achilles tendon in children, which can help with toe walking or foot pain. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
