OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of early quantitative weight loss running table training on the motor function of patients with Achilles tendon rupture after surgery. METHODS: From August 2008 to March 2011, 23 patients, 17 males and 6 females, aged 31-45 years old, with an average of 36 years old, were admitted to our department. 9 open injuries and 14 closed injuries, all of them were fresh Achilles tendon rupture injuries. Postoperatively, all cases were fixed in a long-leg cast with plantarflexion at 30° and knee flexion at 30°, with rehabilitation training. The observation group (11 cases, 7 males and 4 females) and the control group (12 cases, 10 males and 2 females) were divided by the random number method. The control group was trained according to the traditional rehabilitation method, while the observation group was trained by the traditional rehabilitation method 6 weeks after surgery and started early quantitative weight loss running table training. The patients in both groups were evaluated at 12 weeks postoperatively on whether they had strong heel lifting, normal ankle movement, and whether they could jog with or without walking pain. The evaluation criteria were: strong heel lift, no pain, no limp, normal ankle range of motion, and jogging as the cure criteria at 12 weeks after surgery, and the follow-up period was 6-18 months, with an average of 9 months. Results: 11 patients in the observation group were cured (47.82%), 1 of 12 patients in the control group was cured (4.3%), 8 patients had ankle pain and weakness in heel lifting during walking after 6 months postoperatively (34.78%), and 3 patients had painful pulling at the Achilles tendon stop during exercise at 9 months postoperatively (13.04%). Conclusion: Early quantitative weight reduction running table training can significantly improve the motor function of patients after Achilles tendon rupture surgery.
