It is interesting to know the plantar flexion strength, the number of heel-rise repetitions, and the maximal calf circumference following Achilles' tendon ruptures repair. METHODS Both the injured and non-injured legs of thirty male patients with Achilles' tendon ruptures treated with the percutaneous Dresden technique were compared with the ankle function of 30 healthy participants. Rehabilitation involved partial weight-bearing for three weeks and then increased to full weight-bearing and ankle exercises. RESULTS The injured legs had weaker plantar flexion strength (1.64 \u00b1 0.17 Nm\/kg) compared with the non-injured legs (1.91 \u00b1 0.24 Nm\/kg; p = 0.002) and the healthy participants' legs (1.93 \u00b1 0.32 Nm\/kg; p &lt; 0.001). The non-injured leg had greater ability in doing heel-rise repetitions (39.4 \u00b1 6.1 rep.) compared with the injured legs (37.2 \u00b1 5.7 rep.; p &lt; 0.023) and the healthy participants' legs (31.0 \u00b1 13.0 rep.; p &lt; 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The injured leg had not recovered full isometric strength but had improved heel-rise repetition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1268773121000175?via%3Dihub\">Full-text available<\/a> [no password required]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Altmetrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"altmetric-embed\" data-badge-details=\"right\" data-badge-type=\"medium-donut\" data-pmid=\"33509663\" data-hide-no-mentions=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net\/assets\/embed.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication: Journal article Author(s): De la Fuente, Carlos; Henriquez, Hugo; *Carmont, Michael R; Huincahue, Javiera; Paredes, Tamara; Tapia, Mar\u00eda; Araya, Juan Pablo; D\u00edaz, Nicol\u00e1s; Carpes, Felipe P Citation: Foot and ankle surgery : official journal of the European<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/2021\/02\/23\/do-the-heel-rise-test-and-isometric-strength-improve-after-achilles-tendon-repair-using-dresden-technique-2021\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Do the heel-rise test and isometric strength improve after Achilles tendon repair using Dresden technique?
