We prospectively studied the effect of heavy-load eccentric calf muscle training in 15 recreational athletes (12 men and 3 women; mean age, 44.3 +/- 7.0 years) who had diagnosis chronic Achilles tendinosis (degenerative changes) with a long duration symptoms despite conventional nonsurgical treatment. Calf strength amount pain during activity (recorded on visual analog scale) were measured before onset after 12 weeks training. At week 0, all patients tendon not allowing running activity,...
Objective: To prospectively investigate tendon thickness and structure by ultrasonography in patients treated with eccentric calf muscle training for painful chronic Achilles tendinosis located at the 2–6 cm level tendon. Methods: The were examined grey scale before 3.8 years (mean) after 12 week regimen. At follow up, a questionnaire assessed present activity satisfaction treatment. Results: Twenty six tendons twenty five (19 men women) mean age of 50 followed (range 1.6–7.75). All had long...
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. Clear uniform terminology also assists inter-professional communication....
The mechanism that causes pain in chronic Achilles tendinosis is not known. However, high resolution colour Doppler ultrasound has shown neovascularisation may be involved.To investigate if sclerosing the neovessels would affect level of tendon pain.The effect guided injection a agent, polidocanol, against was studied 10 patients (seven men and three women, mean age 55 years) with painful mid-portion tendinosis.Eight were satisfied results treatment. There significantly reduced during...
Background: A recent study reported promising clinical results using eccentric quadriceps training on a decline board to treat jumper’s knee (patellar tendinosis). Methods: In this prospective study, athletes (mean age 25 years) with were randomised treatment either painful or concentric board. Fifteen exercises repeated three times, twice daily, 7 days/week, for 12 weeks. All patients ceased sporting activities the first 6 Age, height, weight, and duration of symptoms similar between...
This non-randomised pilot study investigated the effect of eccentric quadriceps training on 17 patients (22 tendons) with painful chronic patellar tendinopathy.Two different exercise regimens were used by subjects a long duration pain activity (more than six months). (a) Nine consecutive (10 tendons; eight men, one woman; mean age 22 years) performed ankle joint in standard (foot flat) position. (b) Eight (12 five three women; 28 standing 25 degrees decline board, designed to increase load...
We used the microdialysis technique to study concentrations of substances in extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon patients with tennis elbow. In 4 (mean age 41 years, 3 men) a long duration localized pain at ECRB muscle origin, and controls 36 2 no history elbow pain, standard catheter was inserted into under local anesthesia. The neurotransmitter glutamate prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were recorded resting conditions. Samplings done every 15 minutes during 2-hour period. found higher...
Chronic painful insertional Achilles tendinopathy is seen in both physically active and non-active individuals. Painful eccentric training, where the patients load tendon into full dorsiflexion, has shown good results with mid-portion tendinosis. However, only 32% of had clinical that type training regimen.To investigate whether a new model an effect on chronic tendinopathy.27 (12 men, 15 women, mean age 53 years) total 34 tendons long duration pain (mean 26 months), diagnosed as...
Color Doppler ultrasound examination frequently reveals neovascularization in chronic painful Achilles and patellar tendinopathy. Sclerosing the area with vascular ingrowth using polidocanol has shown promising clinical results patients tendinopathy.To investigate sclerosing treatment on a group of elite athletes tendinopathy.Randomized controlled trial/cross-over study; Level evidence, 1.The authors recruited 33 (42 tendons), mainly from Norwegian divisions basketball, team handball,...
The etiology and pathogenesis of chronic tendon pain are unknown. Even though biopsies having shown an absence inflammatory cell infiltration, anti‐inflammatory agents (non‐steroidal drugs, corticosteroidal injections) commonly used. We have demonstrated that it is possible to use intratendinous microdialysis investigate human tendons, found normal prostaglandin E 2 (PGE ) levels in painful tendinosis (Achilles patellar) tendons. Furthermore, gene technological analyses showed no...
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...
In this prospective study, injuries in 153 adolescent female soccer players were recorded during one outdoor season (April–October). The overall injury incidence rate was 6.8 per 1000 h (games and practice) the of traumatic 9.1 1.5 player‐hours games practice, respectively. Sixty‐three (41%) sustained 79 injuries. Sixty‐six percent 34% overuse Most occurred games. Eighty‐nine located lower extremities 42% knee or ankle. most frequent type ankle sprain (22.8%). Forty‐one 56% sprains...
The aetiology and pathogenesis of chronic painful Achilles tendinosis are unknown. This investigation aimed to use cDNA arrays real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) technique study control tissue samples. Five patients (females mean age 57.1+/-4.3 (years+/-SD)) with were included. From all patients, one biopsy was taken from the area a clinically normal (control) tendon. samples immediately immersed in RNAlater frozen at -80 degrees C until RNA extraction. Portions...
