The primary focus is to assess disparities in outcomes, particularly in the recovery of ankle mobility degrees. Additionally, for patients opting for minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery, the study aims to evaluate the resumption of both sporting activities and daily routines using the aforementioned specific rehabilitation protocol.The primary questions this study aims to answer are:* How does the proposed rehabilitation protocol impact ankle mobility recovery for patients with foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening?* What are the differences observed in the return to sporting activities and daily life among patients undergoing minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery, following the prescribed protocol?Participants enrolled in this study will be engaged in:Undertaking the specified rehabilitation exercises tailored for foot pathologies and calf muscle shortening.Those opting for minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery will follow the same rehabilitation protocol post-surgery to assess its impact on their return to normal activities.If there exists a comparison group:Researchers will compare participants who undergo minimally invasive ultrasound-guided surgery against those who choose other treatment options to discern any differential effects on ankle mobility recovery and resumption of activities., conditionsModule conditions: Equinus Deformity of Foot, conditions: Gastrocnemius Equinus, conditions: Contracture, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, enrollmentInfo count: 40, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Specific protocol of rehabilitation exercise, interventions name: Short gastrocnemius surgery., outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Gait Analysis, primaryOutcomes measure: Baropodometric examination, secondaryOutcomes measure: Passive ankle mobility, secondaryOutcomes measure: Short Form Health Survey 36 score, secondaryOutcomes measure: Foot Function Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score, secondaryOutcomes measure: Halasi score, otherOutcomes measure: Olerud and Molander ankle score., otherOutcomes measure: Visual Analogue Scale, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 20 Years, maximumAge: 90 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Podologia Avançada, status: RECRUITING, city: Granollers, state: Barcelona, zip: 08401, country: Spain, contacts name: Lluis Castillo-Sanchez, Dr, role: CONTACT, phone: 610143173, email: info@podologiaavanzadabcn.com, contacts name: Lluis Castillo, Dr, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Cristina Razzano, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Simone Moroni, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 41.60797, lon: 2.28773, locations facility: Clinica Mayral foot center, status: RECRUITING, city: Barcelona, state: Barcelon, zip: 08029, country: Spain, contacts name: Jordi Mayral, role: CONTACT, phone: (+34) 93 339 78 41, email: barcelona@clinicamayral.com, contacts name: Jordi Mayral, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Cristina Razzano, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Simone Moroni, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 41.38879, lon: 2.15899, locations facility: Clinicas UCV, status: RECRUITING, city: Valencia, state: València, zip: 46001, country: Spain, contacts name: Pablo Vera-Ivars, Dr., role: CONTACT, phone: 963 92 06 24, email: clinicas.ucv@ucv.es, contacts name: Cristina Mico-Salcedo, role: CONTACT, phone: 963 92 06 24, email: clinicas.ucv@ucv.es, contacts name: Javier Ferrer-Torregrosa, Dr, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Juan Vicente-Mampel, Dr., role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 39.46975, lon: -0.37739, hasResults: False
