Introduction Achilles and patellar tendinopathy are overuse injuries that are common among
athletes. Isolated eccentric muscle training has become the dominant conservative …

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

Both acute and chronic tendinopathy result in high morbidity, requiring management that is

➤ Eccentric exercises have been proposed to promote collagen fiber cross-link formation
within the tendon, thereby facilitating tendon remodeling. Overall results suggest a trend for …

Achilles tendinopathy is a degenerative, not an inflammatory, condition. It is prevalent in
athletes involved in running sports. A systematic literature review on Achilles tendon …
