Using a specially developed questionnaire, information obtained about individual characteristics (age, height, weight), training background,...
Lower extremity tendinopathy is a common sports injury, but it can also affect non-athletes. Because difficult to treat and has negative effects on the ability work quality of life, development preventive interventions important. The first step in Van Mechelen prevention model determine extent problem. primary aim this study was incidence prevalence lower Dutch general practice population. secondary investigate possible associated factors.A cross-sectional performed practice.

Persistent tendon pain that impairs function has inconsistent medical terms can influence choice of treatment.1 When a person is told they have tendinopathy by clinician A or tendinitis B, might feel confused be alarmed at receiving what perceive as two different diagnoses. This may lead to loss confidence in their health professional and likely adds uncertainty if were search for information about condition.

Background: Patellar tendinopathy is a common overuse injury among jumping athletes. No evidence-based treatment guidelines exist. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) appears to be promising but its effectiveness has not been studied in athletes with patellar who have symptoms for 3 12 months and are still playing. Purpose: The TOPGAME study was created determine the of ESWT on pain, symptoms, function early symptomatic training competition. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial;...
Background The absence of any agreed-upon tendon health-related domains hampers advances in clinical tendinopathy research. This void means that researchers report a very wide range outcome measures inconsistently. As result, substantial synthesis/meta-analysis research findings is almost futile despite publishing busily. We aimed to determine options for, and then define, core for tendinopathy. Methods conducted Delphi study healthcare professionals (HCP) patients three-stage process. In...
This study aimed to compare the immediate analgesic effects of 2 resistance programs in in-season athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT). Resistance training is noninvasive, a principle stimulus for corticospinal and neuromuscular adaptation, may be analgesic.Within-season randomized clinical trial. Data analysis was conducted blinded group.Subelite volleyball basketball competitions.Twenty jumping aged more than 16 years, participating games/trainings 3 times per week clinically diagnosed...
Despite recognized benefits of regular physical activity on musculoskeletal fitness as well general health, little is known about the behavior patients after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). So far, no questionnaire has been validated in this category patients. As Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-enhancing (SQUASH) shown be a fairly reliable and valid tool gauge Dutch adult population, we measured reliability relative validity THA. 44 (17 men 27 women, mean age 71 ± 8 years) completed...
We aimed to establish consensus for reporting recommendations relating participant characteristics in tendon research. A scoping literature review of tendinopathy studies (Achilles, patellar, hamstring, gluteal and elbow) was followed by an online survey face-to-face meeting with expert healthcare professionals (HCPs) at the International Scientific Tendon Symposium, Groningen 2018. reviewed 263 papers form statements invited 30 HCPs from different disciplines geographical locations; 28...
The VISA-P questionnaire evaluates severity of symptoms, knee function and ability to play sports in athletes with patellar tendinopathy. This English-language self-administered brief patient outcome score was developed Australia monitor rehabilitation evaluate clinical studies. Aim this study translate the into Dutch reliability validity version VISA-P. translated according internationally recommended guidelines. Test-retest determined 99 students a time interval 2.5 weeks. To determine...
The ACL-Return to Sport after Injury scale (ACL-RSI) measures athletes' emotions, confidence in performance, and risk appraisal relation return sport ACL reconstruction. Aim of this study was the validity reliability Dutch version ACL-RSI (ACL-RSI (NL)).Total 150 patients, who were 3–16 months postoperative, completed ACL-RSI(NL) 5 other questionnaires regarding psychological readiness sports, knee-specific physical functioning, kinesiophobia, health-specific locus control. Construct...
Greater insight into sports and work performance of athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT) will help establish the severity this common overuse injury. Primary aim study is to investigate impact PT on performance. Seventy seven active (50 males; age 28.1 ± 8.2 years; Victorian Institute Sports Assessment Patella 56.4 12.3) participated in survey. performance, ability productivity were assessed using Oslo Trauma Research Center injury questionnaire, single-item Work Ability Index Quantity...
