The indications of time after stretching, coordination training and strength training show the division of time for the respective type of training when training for a period of one hour. The time indications are therefore not a definition of the daily training needs, as the daily training is determined on an individual basis.

Surgical management of Achilles tendon overuse injuries. A long-term follow-up study.

Schepsis AA, Wagner C, Leach RE. Am J Sports Med 1994 Sep-Oct;22(5):611-9.

We studied 79 cases of surgically treated Achilles tendon overuse injuries in 66 patients. Fifty-three (80%) of these patients were competitive or serious recreational runners operated on between 1978 and 1991. There were 49 men and 17 women with a mean age of 33 years (range, 17 to 59). The cases were divided into surgical subgroups based on their site of primary symptoms and abnormalities: paratenonitis (23), tendinosis (partial rupture or degeneration) (15), retrocalcaneal bursitis (24), insertional tendinitis (7), and combined abnormalities (10). Followup included a comprehensive patient questionnaire and office examination. There were 79% satisfactory (51% excellent, 28% good) and 21% unsatisfactory (17% fair, 4% poor) results. The percentages of satisfactory results in the paratenonitis group (87%) were best and those in the tendinosis group were the worst (67%). Satisfactory results were obtained in 75% of the patients with retrocalcaneal bursitis and 86% with insertional tendinitis. Seven of the 45 cases with longer than 5-year followup with initially satisfactory results deteriorated with time and required reoperation (16%). Of these, 4 were in the tendinosis group, 2 had retrocalcaneal bursitis, and 1 had paratenonitis. One of the 34 patients followed less than 5 years required reoperation.

Comparison of results of retrocalcaneal decompression for retrocalcaneal bursitis and insertional achilles tendinosis with calcific spur.

Watson AD, Anderson RB, Davis WH. Foot Ankle Int 2000 Aug;21(8):638-42.

Sixteen feet with retrocalcaneal bursitis (RB) and twenty-two feet with calcific Achilles insertional tendinosis (IAT-CS) underwent retrocalcaneal decompression after failure of nonoperative treatment. Follow-up evaluation at least two years after surgery included AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot subscale scores, satisfaction, time until maximum symptomatic improvement, and radiographs. Statistically significant differences between the groups include the following: IAT-CS patients were older, required nearly twice the time to reach maximum symptomatic improvement, had lower satisfaction rates, had a lower pain score, and more frequently had shoewear restrictions. Radiographic recurrence did not correlate with outcome or symptomatic recurrence.

Stand with both forefeet on a stool or doorstep with the heel out over the edge. Slowly rise up on to your toes with your weight on the healthy leg. Go slowly down on the injured leg as far as you can go. Use the healthy leg to rise up on to your toes again. The exercise should be performed with stretched, as well as bent knee. Wearing a rucksack and gradually increasing the ballast in the rucksack can increase the load.

Stand with feet together. Using the ankle joint to take off, hop approx. 5 cm and land on both feet. The exercise should be done on one leg when you are able to do it without discomfort using both legs.
