Achilles tendon ruptures most commonly affect middle-aged, athletic individuals, especially those who participate in activities that involve running, jumping, and sudden stops and starts.
Achilles tendon ruptures are most commonly caused by a sudden increase in activity. This could be due to a change in sport, increased running intensity, or beginning a new exercise routine without proper warm-up and stretching.
Other causes of Achilles tendon ruptures include trauma from a direct blow to the tendon, degeneration due to age, and medical conditions that weaken the tendon, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
