简要总结
This project will assess the clinical outcomes of individuals completing rehabilitation for their Achilles tendon rupture at the University Hospitals of Leicester. Patients attending the Achilles tendon rupture clinic or rehabilitation classes will be asked to complete ultrasound imaging, strength testing and questionnaires. This will provide an insight into the rehabilitation outcomes of a broad range of patients at each rehabilitation timepoint.
详细描述
This study will measure the recovery of participants following Achilles tendon rupture. Measurements will capture individual participants at each rehabilitation time point following Achilles tendon rupture. These time points include following rupture (week 0), after 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 4 months, 6 months and 1 year. The measurements include an ultrasound tissue characterisation scan, isometric (static) strength test and heel raise test. In addition questionnaires will be completed by participants at each time point. Questionnaires include the Achilles Tendon Rupture Score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, EQ5D (a health related quality of life measure), International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia and the Pain Catastrophising Scale.
