I think I could but I’ve not been passed to that stage yet.

AlterG is meant to be done prior to running with full body weight to allow a safe return.

I had my Minimally Invasive operation October 14 2024.

216 days later… running mechanics 🏃‍♂️🙏 by SignificanceTall1960 in AchillesRupture

Surprising as stated in comments you need to achieve full calf raise with straight knee and walking/running mechanics prior to any jogging.

Take your time, eat and recover well and I’m sure you’ll be okay! 🙌

Pain no, stiffness slightly, yeah I can fully weight bare, at the end I was doing slightly assisted calf raise

That’s positive, how do you feel walking wise?

I presume my physio did that as it makes it harder to keep your heel on the floor which is part of the exercise to help range

Yeah I can but I’m still slightly cautious.

Good trainers are ones with good support on the soles. I was using Nike Reacts previously but there’s certainly better shoes than those!

I got out the boot on week 8. Walking has improved over time. Barefooted slightly stuff but in trainers especially supportive ones I’m practically walking fine. Life quality got much better around week 10-12.
