Objectives To compare the neuromechanical and functional characteristics of the legs of athletes who underwent unilateral Achilles' tendon repair and their controls, and to determine any correlation between the characteristics. Design A case-control and cross-sectional study. Setting A university institute. Participants Male athletes (N=33) were recruited; 23 in the ≥3- and Intervention Surgical Achilles' tendon repair in the study group. Main Outcome Measures Bilateral measurements of activation strategy involving the triceps surae and tibialis anterior muscles, mechanical properties of the Achilles' tendon, and explosive performance tests were conducted. Results Compared with the noninjured legs and the control legs, the repaired legs showed lower normalized rates of electromyographic rise (RER) in the soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, and gastrocnemius lateralis (P ranged between .006 and .001); and less tendon stiffness, greater hysteresis, and less rates of force development (RFD) (P ranged between .006 and <.001 repaired legs had less ankle dorsiflexion a shorter hopping distance and lower balance scores the noninjured of athletes who underwent surgical achilles tendon repair normalized rer in soleus lateral gastrocnemius when compared with healthy controls neuromechanical outcomes explosive performances showed correlations rfd score.> Conclusions The athletes who underwent unilateral Achilles' tendon repair demonstrated bilateral neuromechanical deficits within the 1-year postsurgical period. |
