Summary
This report presents a case of a grade 3 rupture (type 4 on Pedret’s Classification) of the triceps surae with hematoma, managed using dynamic ultrasound and biofeedback. The primary goal was to limit shearing forces between the soleus and the medial gastrocnemius to promote tissue healing. Dynamic ultrasound allowed precise control of muscle contractions and joint amplitudes, minimizing the risk of complications. This case highlights the value of this approach in managing complex muscle injuries and emphasizes the importance of tailored strategies to optimize tissue repair.
Investigations with ProbeFix Dynamic
The use of ProbeFix Dynamic enabled precise evaluation of muscle and aponeurotic movements. Ultrasound imaging revealed significant displacement of the soleus relative to the GM during concentric and eccentric contractions. These findings confirmed the need to limit dorsiflexion amplitude to minimize shearing forces.Clinical configurations included standardized probe positioning to ensure consistent imaging and annotated ultrasound images to visualize muscle planes and evaluate their interaction during exercises.
