Abstract

Rehabilitation of athletes after surgical intervention on the Achilles tendon. The frequency of injuries to the Achilles tendon increases every year in the population, since most people lead a sedentary lifestyle, but periodically show interest in physical activity. Most Achilles tendon injuries occur during sports games where rapid acceleration / deceleration and jumping are required, so professional athletes are most at risk of injury to the Achilles tendon. Currently, there are no approved requirements for the rehabilitation treatment of patients after surgical treatment of the Achilles tendon. Based on clinical experience, we have compiled a postoperative rehabilitation program for the management of patients, consisting of 4 stages. This program can be simplified or complicated, its duration can be shortened or lengthened, depending on the individual characteristics of a particular patient.
