First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how well people recover 12 months after an Achilles tendon rupture treated without surgery, using a specific rehabilitation program called the SMART protocol. Researchers will measure ankle strength with a machine and ask participants about their daily function. The goal is to better understand long-term recovery, not to test a new treatment.
