Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury that can significantly impact strength, function, and quality of life. While non-surgical management using structured rehabilitation protocols such as the Swansea Morriston Achilles Rupture Treatment (SMART) protocol is increasingly adopted, there is limited evidence on long-term recovery outcomes, particularly beyond six months. This study aims to evaluate recovery at 12-15 months following non-surgical management of Achilles tendon rupture in an NHS population. Participants will attend a single study visit during which plantarflexor muscle strength will be assessed using isokinetic dynamometry, and patient-reported outcomes…
