Objectives: (1) Validate thresholds for minimal, low, moderate, and high fear of movement on the 11-item Tampa Scale Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), (2) Establish a patient-driven minimal clinically important difference (MCID) Achilles tendinopathy (AT) symptoms pain with heel raises tendon stiffness. Methods: Four hundred forty-two adults chronic AT responded to an online survey, including psychosocial questionnaires symptom-related questions (severity willingness complete hops). subgroups (Minimal...
Exercise is the standard of care for Achilles tendinopathy (AT), but 20% to 50% patients continue have pain following rehabilitation. The addition science education (PSE) an exercise program may enhance clinical outcomes, yet this has not been examined in with AT. Furthermore, little known about how rehabilitation AT alters fear movement and central nervous system nociceptive processing. Participants chronic (N = 66) were randomized receive either from a biopsychosocial or biomedical...
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy physical therapy delivered via an all telehealth or hybrid format with in-person on movement-evoked pain for individuals chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT). Methods Sixty-six AT participated (age, 43.4 [SD = 15.4] years; 56% female; body mass index, 29.9 7.7] kg/m2). Participants completed visits from initiation recruitment in September 2019 March 16, 2020 (in-person group). From 17 July 15, 2020, participants...
Achilles tendinopathy (AT) rehabilitation traditionally includes progressive tendon loading exercises. Recent evidence suggests a biopsychosocial approach that incorporates patient education on psychosocial factors and mechanisms of pain can reduce disability in individuals with chronic pain. This is yet to be examined AT.This study aims compare the effects movement-evoked self-reported function as part pathoanatomical for people AT when combined exercise program.A single-site, randomized,...
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a nonpharmacological intervention that provides an current through the skin to produce analgesia. The primary purpose of this study examine if addition TENS routine physical therapy improves movement-evoked pain in individuals with fibromyalgia clinical setting.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are found in 1-12% of older males. Low back pain (LBP) is prevalent with incidence increasing age and can respond to manual therapy (MT). To date, the safety application MT for LBP presence a known AAA has not been reported. This case reports on short-term effects patient pre- post-therapy imaging.A 76-year-old male presented mechanical LBP, groin pain, 4.2-cm AAA. A lumbar magnetic resonance imaging showed significant multilevel abnormalities. screening did...
