Abstract

Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body. Due to its key function in motor skills and the currently observed increase in popularity of various sports disciplines, it is subject to more frequent injuries. This requires the introduction of appropriate therapeutic measures. The main goal of the whole treatment process is to ensure the full recovery of tendon function. In cases of a full tendon ruptures, the treatment of choice is surgery unless it is contraindicated for general medical reasons. In both cases, proper physiotherapy is needed. In the article, the authors present an algorithm for physiotherapy after traumatic injury to the Achilles tendon.
