ACHILLES TENDON INJURY REHABILITATION – Load to withstand load – with Arnold Vlok – via zoom meeting – 14 October 2023

The optimal rehabilitation is not known and most patients treated for Achilles tendon rupture/injury still have functional deficits 1 or 2 years after the injury, regardless of whether the treatment was surgical or nonsurgical. Therefore this workshop will focus on building the Achilles tendon up from ground zero to full functionality while still considering the demand on the tendon.

Join Arnold as he takes you through the optimal rehabilitation protocols for Achilles tendon rupture/injury.
