Abstract

Research aims:
Designing a diverse program of rehabilitative exercises associated with shock waves using a shoke wave device to treat the structural defect of the Achilles tendon after chronic inflammation, with the aim of studying the effect of the proposed program on that injury to reach the affected limb as close to the normal state as possible by measuring the following variables:
1- The level of pain at the site of the injury.
2- Muscular strength of the anterior and posterior leg muscles for both the affected and the healthy limb.
3- Leg circumference around the gastronomies muscle, for both the affected and healthy limb.
4- The degree of total body equilibrium.
5- The motor range of the ankle joint of the foot to which the affected tendon is attached
