Hidden weakness after tennis leg: scar tissue may be the culprit

NCT ID NCT07513779

First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study explores why some people still have hidden calf weakness after recovering from a tennis leg injury. Researchers will measure scar tissue thickness with ultrasound and test muscle strength in 40 adults aged 18 to 40 who had a calf tear at least 3 months ago. No treatment is given—only one-time assessments to see if thicker scar tissue leads to greater weakness. The goal is to help doctors better predict recovery and design smarter rehab programs.
