Achilles tendon rupture recovery at 12 months
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people recover 12 months after an Achilles tendon rupture that was treated without surgery, using a specific rehab program called SMART. It aims to understand your recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at how well people do after an Achilles tendon rupture when they are treated without surgery. It may help improve recovery guidance for others by comparing outcomes based on how care is followed.
This trial is testing a new way to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon. It uses MRI scans to make sure the repair is as good as possible, aiming for better healing and recovery.
This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
This trial tests if strength training can improve calf muscle function in men who tore their Achilles tendon (up to 5 years ago) and had surgery. You cannot have done regular calf exercises recently or have certain health conditions.
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (using a special cuff) to standard rehabilitation exercises can help people with a torn Achilles tendon recover better. It might be an option if you recently ruptured your Achilles and started treatment within 72 hours.
This trial tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard care helps people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture. It might improve strength and function in the leg.
