The
Achilles tendon is the most commonly ruptured tendon in human body5.
At baseline and after three and six months, all patients were asked to rate their subjective
Achilles tendon pain and functional limitations using a Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles (VISA-A) questionnaire.
But patients who get conservative treatment take longer to return to sport, are weaker, and have less confidence in their

A real-time ultrasound apparatus (MyLab 60, Esaote S.p.A., Genova, Italy) with a 10-cm B-mode linear-array probe (LA 923, Esaote S.p.A., Genova, Italy) was used to obtain
Achilles tendon length changes.
(12) and the ATRS at present is the most appropriate and the most used patient-reported outcome measure after
Achilles tendon rupture (1, 5).
The
Achilles tendon (AT) is one of the thickest and strongest tendons in the body which is formed from the tendinous contributions of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles coalescing approximately 15 cm proximal to its insertion.
Orthotics can offer some relief, but for patients with shortened
Achilles tendons, it potentially can cause more discomfort.
(2) Similarly, Comin and colleagues reported an incidence of
Achilles tendon injury of 5% over a 24 month period in a study of dancers in the English Royal Ballet.
