Calf Muscle Healing and Strength After Tennis Leg
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how calf muscles heal after a 'tennis leg' injury (a tear in the calf muscle), focusing on remaining weakness and scar tissue formation. It may help understand recovery and guide better rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Between 18 and 40 years old
- Had a confirmed calf muscle tear (tennis leg) on one side only, diagnosed by ultrasound
- Your injury is at least 3 months old and you've returned to daily activities
- Your injury is mild to moderate (Grade I or II), not a complete rupture
- No previous calf, Achilles tendon, or other lower-leg surgeries or injuries
- No current pain, neurological disorders, blood clots, or systemic inflammatory diseases

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at what is happening inside muscle tissue after calf or hamstring injuries (new, long-term, or after an Achilles tendon rupture). It may help researchers understand why injuries come back and how muscle healing could be improved.
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 trial tests whether Tecar therapy—a type of heat treatment using electrical energy—can help heal calf muscle strains in athletes aged 16–39. The study measures whether this therapy, combined with exercise, reduces pain and restores function.
This study looks at whether people with ACL tears have weakness in a specific calf muscle called the soleus. If you have an ACL tear, you will do strength tests to compare with healthy individuals.
This study tests which treatment works best for acute hamstring or calf muscle injuries in active adults. You would get an ultrasound-guided injection and follow-up care to help your muscle heal faster.
This study examines if calf raise tests can accurately assess recovery in people with Achilles tendon ruptures or lateral ankle sprains. It may help improve how these injuries are evaluated.
