Rehabilitation training after Achilles tendon rupture surgery mainly includes occupational therapy, exercise therapy, hydrotherapy and suspension techniques, mainly to train the muscle strength around the ankle joint, at the same time, it can be combined with joint mobilization or joint manual traction, and can also be combined with other physical therapy. Patients must go to the rehabilitation department of the hospital for rehabilitation training. Rehabilitation training usually had to wait until the Achilles tendon healed. The Achilles tendon healed slowly. It usually took about one and a half to two months. Although the Achilles tendon had healed by this time, the exercise was mainly joint flexion and extension activities. Muscle strength training was not allowed. After Achilles tendon rupture surgery, strict immobilization was required for about one and a half months. After the cast was removed, passive flexion and extension activities of the ankle joint were carried out. Muscle strength training could only be carried out after three or four months.
