Can Achilles tendon lengthening reduce muscle tension

summary

I have a friend's baby when he was two years old, he found that he was always easy to fall down and couldn't change his steps. She was particularly worried about going to the hospital for examination. The doctor suggested that Achilles tendon lengthening should be chosen in this case, but she was also worried about whether it would really work. Now I'm going to talk about whether Achilles tendon lengthening can reduce muscle tension.

Can Achilles tendon lengthening reduce muscle tension

First, Achilles tendon lengthening is a common and effective soft tissue operation to correct plantar flexion deformity. In the early stage of pure plantar flexion, Achilles tendon lengthening alone can be used to correct congenital plantar flexion. When the muscle relaxes, it is reduced by the resistance encountered by the active body, and relaxes due to the lack of expanded belly and normal toughness. The clinical manifestations may vary with the location of the lesion.

Second, the plantar aponeurosis should be cut first in plantar flexion. In children, Achilles tendon lengthening or other soft tissue surgery can be performed to correct plantar flexion deformity, and then the bracket can be used to maintain the correction position, so as to prevent the development of deformity and improve the function, so as to create favorable conditions for bone surgery in the future. Achilles tendon lengthening is a surgical method for the treatment of Achilles tendon diseases.

Third: for the non-surgical treatment failure, more than 6 months after birth or older without treatment, surgery is needed. The generation and maintenance of muscular tension is a complex reflex activity. When the anterior horn of spinal cord is damaged, it is accompanied by segmental myasthenia, atrophy, no sensory disturbance and muscle fiber tremor. When peripheral nerve damage accompanied by muscle weakness, atrophy, sensory disorders, tendon reflex often decreased or disappeared.

matters needing attention

Clinically, Achilles tendon lengthening is particularly useful for unstable walking, but it may also have some side effects. For example, it may reduce muscle tension, but if there are some special symptoms, we must take appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
