Gastrocnemius muscle rupture related to stretching in spastic paresis: a case report
Original language description
This report describes a case of stretching-induced gastrocnemius muscle rupture in a patient with lower limb spastic paresis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of such an injury in this patient population. After 6 mins of progressive stretching of the gastrocnemius muscle, the patient experienced localized pain at the medial gastrocnemius musculotendinous junction. Ultrasonography confirmed a partial rupture of the medial gastrocnemius. In addition to presenting this clinical case, we propose a potential treatment approach based on recent evidence-based physiotherapy methods.
