Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to develop a specialized rehabilitation exercise protocol designed for patients diagnosed with foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening, regardless of their choice to undergo minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery. The primary focus is to assess disparities in outcomes, particularly in the recovery of ankle mobility degrees. Additionally, for patients opting for minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery, the study aims to evaluate the resumption of both sporting activities and daily routines using the aforementioned specific rehabilitation protocol.

The primary questions this study aims to answer are:

* How does the proposed rehabilitation protocol impact ankle mobility recovery for patients with foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening?
* What are the differences observed in the return to sporting activities and daily life among patients undergoing minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery, following the prescribed protocol?

Participants enrolled in this study will be engaged in:

Undertaking the specified rehabilitation exercises tailored for foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening.

Those opting for minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery will follow the same rehabilitation protocol post-surgery to assess its impact on their return to normal activities.

If there exists a comparison group:

Researchers will compare participants who undergo minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery against those who choose other treatment options to discern any differential effects on ankle mobility recovery and resumption of activities.

Conditions

  • Equinus Deformity of Foot
  • Gastrocnemius Equinus
  • Contracture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Specific protocol of rehabilitation exercise

Specific protocol of rehabilitation exercise

PROCEDURE

Short gastrocnemius surgery.

During surgery, a partial release of the gastrocnemius muscle tendon is performed to relieve tension and allow greater range of motion. This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and under local or regional anesthesia, which allows for a quicker recovery compared to more invasive surgeries.
