In model 1 of logistic regression, number of heel-rise test repetitions, age, and physical activity explained 47% of clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathophysiology severity (p = 0.0001), physical activity contributed the most. In model 2, heel-rise test repetition rate, age, and physical activity explained 46.4% of clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathophysiology severity (p = 0.0001), repetition rate contributed the most. Conclusion: There was an inverse association between muscular pump performance and physical activity with clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathophysiology severity, muscular pump repetition rate contributed to a less severe outcome.
