tendinopathy (AT), greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), medial tibial stress syndrome …

Background: There is accumulating evidence for the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock
wave therapy (ESWT) when treating lower limb tendinopathies including greater trochanteric …

There is currently great interest in the use of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)
and in clarifying the mechanisms of action in tendon pathologies. The success rate ranges …

➤ 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 …

Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a pathological state resulting from repetitive loading or
stress on the tendon. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is hypothesized to be an …

No consensus has been reached about the best treatment method of plantar fasciitis and the
results of the treatment methods have been inconsistent. The objective of the present study …

Abstract Background Clinicians manage midportion Achilles tendinopathy (AT) using
complex clinical reasoning underpinned by a rapidly developing evidence base. Objectives …

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment for chronic
tendinopathies, however little is known about the in-vivo biological mechanisms of ESWT …

Our understanding of the pathogenesis of" tendinopathy" is based on fragmented evidences
like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. We propose a" failed healing theory" to knit these fragments …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether the effects of extracorporeal shock
wave therapy (ESWT) could affect the behavior of primary cultured human tenocytes over a …
