Outcome After Conservatively Treated Achilles Tendon Rupture

The main purpose of the study is to compare the patient-reported outcomes and adverse events of two different rehabilitation regimes for patients undergoing non-surgical treatment of Achilles Tendon Rupture. Thus, using a pre-post study design we will compare whether patients participating in an 8-week liberal rehabilitation regime will achieve the same, or better, self- reported functional ability, without increased risk of adverse events, in the first two years following injury, compared to an 11 weeks more restrictive rehabilitation regime..
