Background: Tendinopathy is characterized by alterations in the tendon structure, but there
are conflicting results on the potential of tendon structure normalization and no large studies …

Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a debilitating overuse injury characterized by pain,
altered Achilles tendon structure, and impaired functional performance. Evaluating tendon …

Context: Chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy is a common and hard-to-treat disorder
characterized by degenerative changes of the tendon matrix. Ultrasonographic tissue …

Objectives: To (a) compare ultrasound (US; including grey scale and colour and power
Doppler) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; with high resolution and fat saturation …

Objective To assess whether three-dimensional imaging of the Achilles tendon by
ultrasonographic tissue characterisation (UTC) can differentiate between symptomatic and …

Background: Apart from eccentric exercises (EE), isometric exercises (ISO) might be a
treatment option for Achilles tendinopathy. Shear wave elastography (SWE) provides …

Recently, ultrasound tissue characterization (UTC) was introduced as a reliable method for
quantification of tendon structure. Despite increasing publications on the use of UTC, it is …

Objectives A high proportion of Achilles tendinopathy patients develop bilateral symptoms
with human and animal studies showing bilateral histological changes associated with …

Results The average maximum anteroposterior diameter of the ruptured tendon was 11.7
mm (SD= 2.10). The patients' normal tendons measured an average of 5.4 mm (SD= 0.9) …

Study Design Case-control laboratory study. Objectives To compare tendon characteristics
(shape, composition) and mechanical properties (strain, stiffness) on the involved side of …
