His rehabilitation post surgery was VERY conservative. He spent a lot of time in a boot and on crutches. His PT out of the boot has been very minimal and remained conservative. He no doubt has knee and hip issues, which we’ve yet to address. His double limp has a history as well. Long story short, he developed it when running cross country due to bilateral shin splints. The limp I described is a more “severe” version of this. I have a follow up with him soon, and will have more information.
Thanks! Super interested. I have a good friend that I’m about to start helping with some similar issues tied to the cascade of events and decisions since rupturing an Achilles for the second time
Just so I understand and am tracking correctly. The client is 7 months post Achilles surgery.
What type of exercises or program of rehab did they follow near term to the surgery date? Given the limp and the amount of time that limp may have been present, I wonder what’s happened upstream to the knee and hip.
Also, you mentioned a “double limp”. Was that implying the possibility of a similar issue with the other ankle/achilles?

Thanks again!
I replied, but it went above.
Great article and case study summary 😊
Thank you.
