In-shoe plantar pressures within ankle-foot orthoses: implications for the management of achilles tendon ruptures.
BACKGROUND: Advances in the management of Achilles tendon rupture have led to the development of immediate weightbearing protocols. These vary regarding which ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are used and the number of inserted heel wedges used within them. PURPOSE: This study was conducted to evaluate pl...
