Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
At 3 months the baseline patient and injury information will be collected by means of a baseline questionnaire and the patient medical file. Patient data consists of biographical information, anthropometrics, lifestyle factors, co-morbidities. Injury data concerns etiology and extent and management applied. At 3, 6 and 12 months months post injury the following data will be collected: -Management complication information from patient status -Subjective: Dutch versions of the Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS-NL), ) Euroqol-5D (EQ-5D), OSTRC Overuse Injury Questionnaire, Injury Psychological Readiness Return to Sport Scale (I-PPRS), Tampa Scale of Kinisiophobia (TSK), Expectations, Motivations and Satisfaction Questionnaire, Reasons Failed Return to Sport (at 6 en 12 maanden) -Functional/Clinical: heel-rise test (strength), range of motion (ROM), tendon length, and single leg hop for distance (at 12 months) -Imaging: Ultrasound tissue characterisation (UTC) -Economical: Productivity Cost Questionnaire (iPCQ) and Medical Consumption Questionnaire (iMCQ)	—
