Overuse tendinopathy is problematic to manage clinically. People of different ages with
tendons under diverse loads present with varying degrees of pain, irritability, and capacity to …

Tendon pain remains an enigma. Many clinical features are consistent with tissue disruption—
the pain is localised, persistent and specifically associated with tendon loading, whereas …

The available data on the innervation of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) are inconsistent and
partly contradictory. Therefore, the role of the fascia as a potential source of pain in the low …

Continuing progress in research in molecular biology and biomechanics has provided
considerable new information and has given rise to new hypotheses in chronic …

Tendinopathy is labeled by many authors as a troublesome, common pathology, present in
up to 30% medical care consultations involving musculoskeletal conditions. Despite the …

Overuse tendon injuries (tendinopathies) present a challenge to sports medicine patients
and clinicians. Despite the high prevalence of tendinopathy in recreational and competitive …

Recently, the fascia innervation has become an important issue, particularly the existence of
nociceptive fibers. Fascia can be a source of pain in several disorders such as fasciitis and …

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) can serve as an excellent imaging modality for the
musculoskeletal clinician. Although MRI is more commonly ordered in the United States for …

Objectives: The cellular basis of painful tendon overuse pathology (tendinosis) is poorly
understood. It has been suggested that because of the close anatomical associations …

Nociceptive innervation of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) has been investigated over the
past few decades; however, these studies have not been compiled or collectively appraised …
