Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to measure the recovery following Achilles tendon rupture. The investigators will use an ultrasound scan to look at the Achilles tendon, they will complete calf strength tests and use questionnaires to measure how individuals are managing in everyday life. The investigators will take these measurements when participants first arrive to the Achilles tendon rupture clinic, after 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 4 months, 6 months and 1 year.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will measure the recovery of participants following Achilles tendon rupture. Measurements will be completed following Achilles tendon rupture, 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.
