Background: Functional deficits and health-related impairments are common after an
Achilles tendon rupture (ATR). Rehabilitation protocols vary greatly, and few studies have …

Objectives: The objective of this review is to explore and analyse current research on the
use of wearable sensor technologies to evaluate rehabilitation and prevention strategies for …

Purpose The hypothesis was that early functional mobilization would reduce the incidence
of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) during leg immobilization after Achilles tendon rupture …

Purpose The purpose of this review is to (1) characterize the various forms of wearable
sensor devices (WSDs) and (2) review the peer-reviewed literature of applied wearable …

Background Plantar flexion is critical for ambulatory function but there are few wearable
solutions to monitor loading. Research question The purpose of this study was to develop …

Objectives To compare re-rupture rate, functional and quality-of-life outcomes, return to
sports and work, complications, and resource use in patients treated non-surgically with …

Achilles tendon ruptures are common injuries that lead to functional deficits in two-thirds of
patients. Progressively loading the healing tendon has been associated with superior …

Background Achilles tendon injuries are commonly treated with stability boots that secure
the ankle at a specific position and aim to reduce loading of the tendon. These boots allow …

Introduction Leg immobilisation in a cast or an orthosis after lower limb injuries is associated
with a high risk of complications of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and hampered healing …

English Achilles tendon ruptures can be treated conservatively with a therapeutic shoe or an
orthosis. Prospective randomized trials show comparable results to surgical treatment, with …
