Dr. Lauren Geaney and Dr. Vinayak Sathe are conducting a research study to better understand which patients are more likely to succeed with physical therapy for the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinitis. The study is titled, "Range of motion in Achilles tendinitis predicts success with conservative treatment." The investigators believe that patients with good initial ankle range of motion do not have the same success with physical therapy as patients with poor range of motion. Therefore, it is also believed that this association may predict which patients may go on to require surgery. Participation in this study involves completing a few short surveys during three to four regularly scheduled clinic visits before and after physical therapy. These surveys focus on general health and well-being, foot function and pain. Some study data will also be collected from the medical record. There will be no changes in the treatment plan or recommendations for patients who participate in this study.
