Background The absence of a single, identifiable traumatic cause has been traditionally
used as a definition for a causative factor of overuse injury. Excessive loading, insufficient …

Tendons connect muscles to bones, ensuring joint movement. With advanced age, tendons
become more prone to degeneration followed by injuries. Tendon repair often requires …

The intrinsic pathogenetic mechanisms of tendinopathies are largely unknown and whether
inflammation or degeneration has the prominent role is still a matter of debate. Assuming …

Tendon disorders are a major problem for participants in competitive and recreational
sports. To try to determine whether the histopathology underlying these conditions explains …

Tendons are able to respond to mechanical forces by altering their structure, composition,
and mechanical properties—a process called tissue mechanical adaptation. The fact that …

Tissues, such as bone, tendon, and ligaments, contain a high fraction of components with"
short" and" ultrashort" transverse relaxation times and therefore have short mean transverse …

In overuse clinical conditions in and around tendons, frank inflammation is infrequent, and is
associated mostly with tendon ruptures. Tendinosis implies tendon degeneration without …

Over the course of the last two decades, athletes have received increased demands on their
