Ruptures of the Achilles tendon, located on the back of the calf connected to the heel bone, are common and often have long term negative effects. In particular, the muscle can atrophy, or grow weaker from not being used, while the patient recovers. With this grant, Cortes will explore the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for surgically treated ruptures to enhance patient outcomes.
NMES is a therapy that delivers painless electrical impulses to nerves, causing the muscle to contract. This contraction simulates the effect of walking without as much strain and helps to keep the muscle from atrophying. Combined with physical therapy, it can be used to “re-train” a muscle to build strength after an injury.
