Core Tip	Whilst the biomechanical advantage of surgical off-loading from gastrocnemius recession is well proven, the potential for weak push-off strength post-operatively continues to be debated. We are not aware of any published literature investigating the impact of the gastrocnemius recession procedure on the ability to return to physical activity. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that the majority of patients will be unable to return to their pre-operative level of physical activity after a gastrocnemius recession procedure.
