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

NCT ID NCT07513779

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study looks at people who have recovered from tennis leg, a common calf muscle injury. Even after healing, many still have hidden weakness in their calf. Researchers use ultrasound to measure scar tissue thickness and a strength-testing machine to check muscle power. By comparing the injured leg to the healthy one, they hope to understand how scar tissue relates to ongoing weakness, which could improve rehab and return-to-sport decisions.
