Official title
The Use of Electrical Stimulation on Muscle Cross Sectional Area and Muscle Fascicle Length Following Postoperative Achilles Tendon Repair
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) after Achilles tendon surgery will reduce calf muscle atrophy.
