Abstract

The article analyses methods of treatment for an injury of the Achilles’ tendon, particularly its partial rupture and achillitis. The study involved volleyball players from such teams as Locomotiv, Loco-Express, and others. Analysis of the results demonstrated an advantage of the method of extracorporal shock-wave therapy for treating injuries of the Achilles’ tendon over other methods, and its use in combination with kinesio taping made it possible to significantly reduce terms of rehabilitation of sportsmen with the pathology studied.
