Tendinitis Achilles merupakan cidera yang terjadi pada tendon Achilles, yaitu jaringan yang melekatkan atau menghubungkan otot betis dengan tulang tumit kaki akibat overuse atau penggunaan secara terus menerus. Tendinitis Achilles juga merupakan sebuah kondisi umum yang menyebabkan rasa sakit pada sepanjang bagian belakang kaki di dekat tumit. Gejala klinis seperti nyeri, bengkak, dan penurunan kemampuan tendon Achilles sering terjadi pada olahraga dan kehidupan sehari-hari. Tujuan case report dari penatalaksanaan fisioterapi pada tendinitis achilles adalah untuk mengurangi nyeri, mengurangi bengkak, meningkatkan kekuatan otot dan lingkup gerak sendi, serta meningkatkan aktivitas fungsional sehari-hari pasien dengan tendinitis achilles. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah case report study dimana peneliti melibatkan seorang pasien di RSUD dr Hardjono Ponorogo. Pasien merupakan seorang perempuan berusia 59 tahun bekerja sebagai pendeta, pasien mengeluhkan nyeri dan bengkak pada kedua pergelangan kaki belakangnya. Berdasarkan hasil studi yang telah dilakukan ultrasound dan terapi latihan meliputi myofascial release, hold relax, heel raise, strengthening exercise memiliki pengaruh untuk mengurangi nyeri, meningkatkan kekuatan otot, meningkatkan ROM, Meningkatkan aktifitas fungsional, dan mengurangi bengkak pada pasien dengan tendinitis achilles.

Excessive ankle stiffness can greatly impact mobility, leading to discomfort, difficulty in walking, and limited Range of Motion (ROM). We aimed to identify and address the symmetry of shank muscle strength, ankle passive stiffness, and plantar pressure distribution, in a patient with unilateral excessive ankle stiffness, utilizing Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) accompanied by Faradic Electrical Stimulation (FES). The patient’s muscle strength and ROM which had diminished due to 3.5 years of ankle immobilization post-rescue from amputation, underwent a 12-week program involving IASTM and FES. The plantar and dorsiflexion muscles’ torque, ROM, and plantar pressure were measured using an isokinetic and plantar distribution system before and after the intervention. Symmetry of muscle torque, ROM, and plantar pressure between two limbs were calculated for pre and post-test. Results indicated improvement in the ratio index of the concentric/eccentric dorsi- and plantar-flexion peak torque and dorsi- and plantar-flexion work, ROM, gait line length, and contact time after a 12-week intervention. The study suggests that IASTM and FES are effective interventions for restoring symmetry in a patient with post-operation complications, highlighting the need for further research on similar cases.

Advanced post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis (PTAO) is a severe condition that affects less than one percent of the population, with rare incidence. It accounts for less than 5% of all osteoarthritis (OA) cases. Physiotherapy enhances functionality by strengthening the dynamic stabilizers of the ankle, such as the calf, soleus, tibialis anterior, and peroneal muscles, and by improving proprioception, which aids in balance and coordination. As OA progresses, individuals may experience early losses in their ability to perform everyday activities and job tasks. Occupational therapy and cardiovascular exercises are crucial for conserving energy while walking and improving posture at work. This case report involves a 39-year-old male who presented to the hospital with pain, swelling, difficulty walking, and an equinus deformity. After diagnosing him with ankle arthritis, the orthopedic specialist recommended an X-ray. Medication and physical therapy were administered to educate and rehabilitate the patient, aiming to improve pain, range of motion (ROM), strength, and walking capacity. A four-week treatment plan, along with medication, resulted in significant improvements in pain reduction, ROM, strength, and walking ability. This case report also underscores the importance of focusing on preoperative care to ensure that post-surgery, the hip and knee ranges are normal, and the patient experiences less difficulty walking. Future studies are needed to explore this condition further and to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound therapy in such cases, as it was not effective in reducing pain in this instance.
