Acute Achilles tendon rupture often results in long-term muscular deficits. Patients struggle to return to work and sports with high load on the lower leg. Early functional rehabilitation has shown good results, but research on resistance exercise is scarce and the reporting of the specifics of the exercises are poor.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy of standard care versus standard care combined with an early progressive exercise program in improving the function of the tendon and leg muscles after non-surgical treated Achilles tendon rupture
