Clinical Trial Summary
Achilles tendinitis is a common condition that cause pain along back of leg near the heal. It
is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connect calf muscles at
the back of the lower leg to heel bone. There are number of treatment approaches to relieve
pain in Achilles tendonitis . Insufficient literature has discuss the combine effect of
myofascial release with eccentric resistance. So the aim of the study is to compare the
effect of myofascial release with eccentric resistance and without eccentric resistance on
pain , range of motion and functional disability in patient with Achilles tendinitis
Description:
Tendonitis refers to inflammation of a tendon in response to injury or disease. It causes
pain, irritation, and swelling, especially following periods of activity. Achilles tendinitis
(AT) is a prevalent condition across the lifespan in both active and sedentary people, and
can occur in the mid tendon, tendon insertion to the calcaneus and peritendon.
Achilles tendinitis is caused by overuse of the ankle and is closely related to an
individuals activity level. In the adult population (21-60 yrs old), the incidence rate is
2.35 persons per 1000. It has been reported in approximately 7%-9% of professional athletes
and 6%-18% of regular runners.
People with Achilles tendinitis typically report symptoms of pain and stiffness upon weight
bearing after prolonged rest and at the start of physical activity, which reduces as the
activity continues . These symptoms lead to impaired performance. In more severe cases, pain
and disability can be persistent with functional activities such as walking.
Physical therapists have used different methods to maintain and also to increase joint
motion, and prevent deformity and dysfunction resulting from the muscle shortening. The
intension of the physical therapist is to lengthen the musculo-tendinous unit, supporting
connective tissue and increase the range of motion.
Soft tissue treatments are widely used for AT, but strong scientific evidence to support
those treatments is lacking. The literature provides some evidence that heavy pressure and
deep massage might have some positive effect on chronic tendonitis by promoting healing.
Eccentric training can be effective in the rehabilitation of patients with Achilles
tendonitis. The mechanism behind these results is not clear. However, there is evidence that
tendons are able to respond to repeated forces by altering their structure and composition,
and, thus, their mechanical properties change
