Background Few interventions reduce patellar tendinopathy (PT) pain in the short term. Eccentric exercises are painful and have limited effectiveness during competitive season. Isometric isotonic muscle contractions may an immediate effect on PT pain. Methods This single-blinded, randomised cross-over study compared 45 min effects following a bout of isometric contractions. Outcome measures were single-leg decline squat (SLDS, 0–10), quadriceps strength maximal voluntary contraction (MVIC),...
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...
Establishing and promoting connections between health researchers professional clinicians may help translate research evidence to clinical practice. Social media have the capacity enhance these connections.The aim of this study was explore researchers' clinicians' current use social their beliefs attitudes towards for communicating evidence.This used a mixed-methods approach obtain qualitative quantitative data. Participation open clinicians. Data regarding demographic details, media,...
Chronic edema of the leg is a risk factor for cellulitis. Daily use compression garments on has been recommended to prevent recurrence cellulitis, but there limited evidence from trials regarding its effectiveness.
Background: Overuse injury to the patellar tendon (patellar tendinopathy) is a major reason for interrupted training and competition elite athletes. In both sexes, prevalence of unilateral bilateral tendinopathy has been shown differ. It proposed that pathology may have different aetiology from pathology. Investigation risk factors be unique in female athletes reveal insights into this condition. Objectives: To examine whether anthropometry, body composition, or muscle strength distinguished...
Overuse is considered to be a main causative factor for tendinopathies; however, recent reports indicate that tendinopathy also common among both overweight and inactive individuals. These factors are associated with abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance. We hypothesized these features would tendinopathy.To compare lipid profile between participants Achilles matched controls.Fasting serum lipids were measured 60 chronic painful midportion (54% male) control...
Adiposity is a modifiable factor that has been implicated in tendinopathy. As tendon pain reduces physical activity levels and can lead to weight gain, associations between pathology adiposity must be studied individuals without pain. Therefore, the purpose of this study was determine whether fat distribution associated with asymptomatic Achilles pathology. The tendons 298 were categorised as normal or pathological using diagnostic ultrasound. Fat determined anthropometry (waist...
Objective To determine whether there are objective findings of tendinosis in a rabbit tendinopathy model on exercised and contralateral (non-exercised) Achilles tendons. Design Four groups six New Zealand white rabbits per group were used. The animals one (control) not subjected to exercise/stimulation. Interventions Animals protocol electrical stimulation passive flexion–extension the right triceps surae muscle every second day for 1, 3 or 6 weeks. Main Outcome Measures Tenocyte number...
The current pilot study investigates whether oral supplementation of specific collagen peptides improves symptoms and tendon vascularisation in patients with chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy combination structured exercise. Participants were given a placebo or (TENDOFORTE®) bi-daily calf-strengthening program for 6 months. Group AB received the first 3 months before crossing over to placebo. BA peptides. At baseline (T1), (T2) (T3) months, Victorian Institute Sports...
Approximately 80% of research evidence relevant to clinical practice never reaches the clinicians delivering patient care. A key barrier for translation into is limited time and skills have find appraise emerging evidence. Social media may provide a bridge between health researchers service providers.The aim this study was determine efficacy social as an educational medium effectively translate practice.The used mixed-methods approach. Evidence-based points were delivered via platforms. The...
Understanding adaption to load is essential for prevention and treatment of tendinopathy/tendinosis. Cytokine release in response one mechanism involved mechanotransduction. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) implicated tendinosis can induce apoptotic effects via receptor 1 (TNFR1). complete absence information concerning the TNF-α system Achilles tendon a limitation as mid-portion very frequent. <b><i>Purpose:</i></b> To examine expression patterns its...
Objective: This research aimed to explore the quality-of-life and experiences of people with Achilles tendinopathy. Design: mixed-methods used 8-dimension Assessment Quality-of-Life (AQoL-8D), focus groups grounded theory analysis. AQoL-8D scores were compared population normative scores. In groups, participants discussed their Setting: An online survey was completed, followed by interviews held at University Canberra. Participants: Adults tendon pain eligible participate in survey, which...
This study aimed to verify the immediate effects of altering sagittal plane trunk position during jump landings on lower limb biomechanics, patellar tendon force, and pain athletes with without tendinopathy.Twenty-one elite male were categorized into three groups: tendinopathy (TG; n = 7), asymptomatic abnormalities (n (CG; 7). A biomechanical evaluation was conducted while performed drop from a bench in self-selected (SS). Afterward, randomly assigned land either flexed (FLX) or an extended...
