Early rehabilitation is crucial after Achilles tendon repair, but which approach works best? A recent study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research found that electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) improves tendon healing and muscle recovery, while static stretching offers no added benefit. These results highlight the importance of early muscle contractions in rehab- could EMS be a game-changer in recovery protocols?
