Medial gastrocnemius silent contractures (MGSCs) are prevalent, notably impacting functional status and increasing the risk of foot and ankle disorders, especially among aging populations. Although traditionally managed by podiatrists and physiotherapists, the role of rehabilitation nursing in addressing MGSCs is gaining recognition. This paper elucidates the contributions of rehabilitation nursing to the functional rehabilitation of MGSC patients and underscores its vital role within the multidisciplinary team. Initially, the paper defines the clinical and physiological characteristics of MGSCs and their implications in foot and ankle disorders. It then meticulously explores rehabilitation nursing interventions—including personalized stretching regimens, vibration therapy, balance exercises, and judicious footwear selection—emphasizing their efficacy in enhancing muscle flexibility, joint mobility, and postural stability. The emphasis is on patient-centered approaches and education to foster treatment adherence and positive rehabilitation outcomes. The significance of interdisciplinary collaboration is highlighted, focusing on how rehabilitation nursing optimizes patient care and mitigates complications. The paper advocates for recognizing and integrating rehabilitation nursing in managing MGSC-related disorders, emphasizing its importance in achieving successful functional outcomes.
