    Stephanie,

    I think I’ll have to add that one to: Bright Side of ATR ;)

    Welcome to the ATR team. I wish you speedy recovery. How is the walking going for you?

    Dr. Ross, do you have chapter 6 from the article “About Tendons and Ligaments”? I would love to see that since it talks about the most effective rehab exercises.

    Thanks

    Jim

    Good news!

    It’s taken a few weeks for me to get hold of this paper:
    Early Weightbearing and Ankle Mobilization after Open Repair of Acute Midsubstance Tears of the Achilles Tendon

    I was able to get it through a personal contact.. here it is:
    http://achillesblog.com/atr-rehab-protocols/

    It may be on this site temporaily as it’s an article you have to pay to access.. :?

    If there are other articles that you wanted to read, but you could read only the abstract (requiring a fee or a subscription), please let me know, and I’ll see if I can also get those too.

    If there are issues with legality of this, then I’ll have to take it down at some point, and I may have to do my best to summarize the findings instead.
