Abstract

Achilles tendon rupture happens more frequently in the elderly. The aim of this study is to analyze the utilization of exercise rehabilitation program in the achilles tendon injury on the elderly. This is quasi-experimental study which were conducted by mix method approach. There were six Spraque-Dawley (SD) old male rats which were used as sample in this research. The experimental group was involved in the exercise rehabilitation program. The collagen type I, collagen type III, and crimp pattern were observed as independent variables. The result, experimental group shows better recovery by the higher percentage of collagen type I and lower collagen type III. In conclusion, the finding of this study could give more evidences about the benefit of doing exercise rehabilitation on achilles tendon rupture in elderly every age. Further study could be conducted by adding more research sample and involving other research variable.
