The Achilles tendon resting angle as an indirect measure of Achilles tendon length following rupture, repair, and rehabilitation

Background: Rupture of the Achilles tendon may result in reduced functional activity and reduced plantar flexion strength. These changes may arise from elongation of the Achilles tendon. An observational study was performed to quantify the Achilles tendon resting angle (ATRA) in patients following A...
