The purpose of this research is to measure the instructional value of Achilles tendon (AT) injury-related YouTube videos. 60 videos were selected for the study after a thorough search on YouTube using relevant keywords. At-related YouTube videos have received a lot of views, but their quality and dependability are lacking. To overcome the issues, each video has assessed using the DISCERN method, which rates the accuracy of health information. Analysis of variance formula (ANOVA) was used to analyze how different video content types and sources differed in terms of dependability and content quality. Standard requirements were assessed using iterative multivariate regression models that examined the impact of specific video quality factors upon the Global Quality Score (GQS) and Achille's Tendon Specific Scores (ATSS). A total of 54,946,364 views have been recorded for the 60 videos, with a mean view count of 1 234 463 and a range of 1 075 to 43 463 465 views per movie. The majority of films (40,8 %) and fitness instruction (18,4 %) focused on disease-specific information. The majority of films were posted by non-medical sources (32 %), followed by medical sources (34 %). Patients may get the right treatment when they need it, which lowers the chance of aggravating injuries and subsequent tendon ruptures.
