[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 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...
