Achilles' tendon ruptures result in impaired plantar flexion strength and endurance. It is interesting to know the plantar flexion strength, the number of heel-rise repetitions, and the maximal calf circumference following Achilles' tendon ruptures repair.
Both the injured and non-injured legs of thirty male patients with Achilles' tendon ruptures treated with the percutaneous Dresden technique were compared with the ankle function of 30 healthy participants. Rehabilitation involved partial weight-bearing for three weeks and then increased to full weight-bearing and ankle exercises.
The injured legs had weaker plantar flexion strength (1.64 ± 0.17 Nm/kg) compared with the non-injured legs (1.91 ± 0.24 Nm/kg; p = 0.002) and the healthy participants' legs (1.93 ± 0.32 Nm/kg; p < 0.001). The non-injured leg had greater ability in doing heel-rise repetitions (39.4 ± 6.1 rep.) compared with the injured legs (37.2 ± 5.7 rep.; p < 0.023) and the healthy participants' legs (31.0 ± 13.0 rep.; p < 0.001).
The injured leg had not recovered full isometric strength but had improved heel-rise repetition.
跟腱断裂会导致跖屈力量和耐力下降。了解跟腱断裂修复后跖屈力量、单腿提踵次数和小腿周径最大值很有意思。
采用经皮德累斯顿技术治疗的 30 例男性跟腱断裂患者的患侧和健侧下肢与 30 名健康参与者的踝关节功能进行比较。康复治疗包括 3 周的部分负重,然后逐渐增加至完全负重和踝关节运动。
患侧下肢的跖屈力量(1.64 ± 0.17 Nm/kg)明显弱于健侧下肢(1.91 ± 0.24 Nm/kg;p = 0.002)和健康参与者的下肢(1.93 ± 0.32 Nm/kg;p < 0.001)。患侧下肢单腿提踵次数(39.4 ± 6.1 次)明显少于健侧下肢(37.2 ± 5.7 次;p < 0.023)和健康参与者的下肢(31.0 ± 13.0 次;p < 0.001)。
患侧下肢尚未恢复完全等长力量,但提踵次数有所改善。
