Background Assuming that the mechanisms inducing adaptation in healthy tendons yield
similar responses in tendinopathic tendons, we hypothesized that a high-loading exercise …

Background One potential reason for disparate outcomes of exercise for Achilles
tendinopathy is poor knowledge about whether exercise parameters (ie different exercise …

Therapeutic exercise is widely considered a first line fundamental treatment option for
managing tendinopathies. As the Achilles tendon is critical for locomotion, chronic Achilles …

Background: Previous studies have shown that eccentric training has a positive effect on
Achilles tendinopathy, but few randomized controlled trials have compared it with other …

Abstract Background Mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy is prevalent within both the athletic
and non-athletic populations and loading protocols for Achilles tendinopathy are effective …

Context: Exercise is seen as the most evidence-based treatment for managing tendinopathy
and although the type of exercise used to manage tendinopathy may induce adaptation in …

Background Persistent strength deficits secondary to Achilles tendinopathy (AT) have been
postulated to account for difficulty engaging in tendon-loading movements, such as running …

Background: Eccentric exercises are the only conservative treatment that has shown good
clinical results in studies of Achilles tendinopathy (AT), but success rates vary, indicating the …

Achilles Tendinopathy is a complex problem, with the most common conservative treatment
being eccentric exercises. Despite multiple studies assessing this treatment regime little is …

Background: Eccentric exercise is commonly used in the management of Achilles
tendinopathy (AT) but its effectiveness for insertional AT has been questioned. Soft tissue …
