About

These calculators for normative values of Achilles tendon thickness and normative values of the Heel Rise Endurance Test (HRET) are a result of the REVEAL trial, which was conducted at the outpatient departments of the Erasmus MC University Medical Centre (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) and the University of Leicester (Leicester, United Kingdom) in collaboration with the University of Waikato (New-Zealand).

With the Achilles tendon thickness tool we aim to improve personalised patient care and help healthcare providers distinguish between ultrasonographic features of Achilles tendinopathy and normal morphological changes. The HRET tool aims to help clinicians to monitor personalized trajectories of recovery and to provide well-informed rehabilitation guidance.
