Comparison 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 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 ...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Eccentric-Concentric Training and Isometric Contractions on Pain and Disability in Achilles Tendinopathy: A Case Report
Purpose: Many patients with Achilles Tendinopathy do not respond to eccentric training. The aim of the present case report is to find out the effect of eccentric concentric training of gastrocnemius and soleus combined with isometric contraction of gastrocnemius and static stretching exercises of gastrocnemius and soleus on pain and disability in a patient experiencing Achilles Tendinopathy. Me...
متن کاملTendon 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 کاملEvaluation of normal and pathological Achilles tendon by real-time shear wave elastography.
Tendinopathy covers a range of several tendon conditions, mostly caused by overuse but at least in Achilles tendon pathology, favored by obesity, diabetes, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Subclinical tendon pathology is difficult to diagnose, as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations are sometimes inconclusive and not cost-effective. Elastography is an ultrasound examination meth...
