An interventional study of Rehabilitation protocol in Achilles Tendon Rupture, sponsored by Peking University Third Hospital. Status unknown at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-06-03.

This study is a prospective randomized controlled clinical study. After the Achilles tendon rupture repaired , patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, and the rehabilitation protocol was traditional rehabilitation protocol and accelerated rehabilitation protocol under ultrasonic monitoring , respectively, to study the difference in efficacy between the groups.
This prospective randomized controlled clinical study is designed to compare the treatment outcomes of different rehabilitation protocols by dividing the patients into two groups-based on the traditional rehabilitation protocol and accelerated rehabilitation protocol under ultrasonic monitoring after a similar suture technique. The inclusion criteria are patients with an acute closed single-legged complete Achilles tendon rupture, and an age of 18 to 60 years. The exclusion criteria are patients with prior Achilles tendon rupture or other situations that affect their lower limb functions or tendon healing (e.g., autoimmune disease, diabetes mellitus, systemic corticosteroid treatment). Other exclusion criteria are an inability to complete our suture technique (e.g., the distance from the rupture site to the Achilles tendon insertion is less than 3.5 cm), or those without rehabilitation or follow-up outcomes. All patients will be treated surgically with the same suture technique.
557 studies on the registry are indexed under Rupture; 97 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 200 is above the median of 72 across 334 interventional studies indexed under Rupture.

Exclusion Criteria:
Traditional rehabilitation protocol after the surgery will be conducted
Procedure: Rehabilitation protocol
Accelerated rehabilitation protocol under ultrasonic monitoring after the surgery will be conducted
Procedure: Rehabilitation protocol
Rehabilitation protocol after open surgery for Achilles tendon rupture
The time of return to light sports activity
When the patients are able to do jogging or rapid walk after the surgery, the time will be recorded.
Time frame: From operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery
Range of motion (ROM) recovery time
The recovery time will be recorded when the ROM is similar to that of the uninjured side.
Time frame: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery
Recovery time of the single-legged heel rise height (SHRH)
The heel rise height is measured as the distance from the ground to the heel when the patient lift the heel while keeping the knee straight. The recovery time is noted when the SHRH is similar to that of the opposite leg.
Time frame: From operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery
visual analogue scale (VAS)
VAS pain score is from 0 to 10, the higher score demonstrate the more severe pain.
Time frame: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, and 48 weeks after the surgery
American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score
The AOFAS score ranges from 0 to 100, with a healthy hindfoot receiving 100 points.
Time frame: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, and 48 weeks after the surgery
the Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS)
The ATRS includes 10 items; each item has a score ranging between 0 and 10 on a Likert scale, with 100 indicating no major limitations.
Time frame: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, and 48 weeks after the surgery
