Tendon structure's lack of relation to clinical outcome after eccentric exercises in chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy.
CONTEXT Chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy is a common and hard-to-treat disorder characterized by degenerative changes of the tendon matrix. Ultrasonographic tissue characterization (UTC) was successfully used to quantify structural human Achilles tendon changes. This novel and reliable technique could be used in follow-up studies to relate tendon structure to symptoms. OBJECTIVE To qu...
متن کاملComparison of Lower Limb Muscle Activity during Eccentric and Concentric Exercises in Runners with Achilles Tendinopathy
[Purpose] This study aimed to identify changes in muscle activation by comparing muscle activities of the affected side (AS) and non-affected side (NAS) during eccentric and concentric exercises in runners with unilateral Achilles tendinopathy. [Subjects] The study included 18 participants consisting of men and women with chronic Achilles tendinopathy in a single leg who had more than 1 year of...
متن کاملLong-Term Outcome and Factors Affecting Prognosis of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Chronic Refractory Achilles Tendinopathy
OBJECTIVE To investigate the factors affecting prognosis of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for chronic refractory Achilles tendinopathy (AT). METHODS Thirty-six patients (48 consecutive feet) with chronic AT (>6 months) and who underwent ESWT for 'poor' or 'fair' grade in Roles-Maudsley Score (RMS) after unsuccessful conservative treatment were included in the present study. A maximu...
متن کاملEffects of low-level laser therapy and eccentric exercises in the treatment of recreational athletes with chronic achilles tendinopathy.
BACKGROUND Eccentric exercises (EEs) are recommended for the treatment of Achilles tendinopathy, but the clinical effect from EE has a slow onset. HYPOTHESIS The addition of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to EE may cause more rapid clinical improvement. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS A total of 52 recreational athletes with chronic Achilles tendino...
متن کاملEccentric exercise in treatment of Achilles tendinopathy.
AIM Prognosis and treatment of Achilles tendon pain (achillodynia) has been insufficiently studied. The purpose of the present study was to examine the long-term effect of eccentric exercises compared with stretching exercises on patients with achillodynia. METHODS Patients with achillodynia for at least 3 months were randomly allocated to one of two exercise regimens. Exercise was performed ...
