The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional outcomes and sports ability after surgical treatment of insertional Achilles tendon tendinopathy using tendon detachment, debridement, and double-row anchor refixation.
This work is designed as a prospective cohort study, in which the effects of a protocol of 12-week resistance training loading the Achilles tendon in patients with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) will be monitored. It is estimated that at least 20 patients will participate. In addition, there will be a small control group of healthy participants which will not complete the same protocol, but will be monitored for natural changes in same objectives. Group of patients will be instructed to perform a training protocol.
A 6-week randomized clinical trial (RCT) with a 46-week follow-up compared the effect of Alfredson and Silbernagel eccentric programs for the treatment of AT. The primary outcome was a change in the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment - Achilles (VISA-A) scale from baseline to 12 months. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University (Project number: 254/2021). All participants provided written informed consent before participation.
The main objective of this research project is to study the transient adaptations that occur in the tendon immediately after the object of training with low loads and blood flow restriction and to compare these adaptations with those derived from training with high loads, in order to thus helping to elucidate the complex existing framework regarding the effects of this training methodology on the tendon.
The study is a multicenter, retrospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the ToggleLoc 2.9 mm Soft Tissue System when used for soft tissue to bone fixation in the elbow. The primary objective is the assessment of performance by analyzing soft tissue to bone healing in the elbow. The secondary objective is the assessment of safety and clinical benefits. Safety will be evaluated by recording and analyzing the incidence and frequency of complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to device, instrumentation and/or procedure will be specified. Clinical benefits will be assessed by recording patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at the longest follow-up after surgery (minimum one year).
Insertional Achilles tendinopathy is a disabling injury that is common in running athletes. Exercise therapy is considered the best treatment option, but there is still no agreement on the modalities. For example, it is thought that compression overload may be a major cause of tendinopathy and should therefore be restricted during rehabilitation. However, this recommendation is based on expert opinion and not on hard scientific evidence. Therefore, this randomised controlled trial (RCT) will investigate whether a therapy that limits the amount of compression of the tendon during a progressive tendon-loading rehabilitation protocol actually has better outcomes in athletes with insertional Achilles tendinopathy. 28 athletes with insertional Achilles tendinopathy will be randomised into two treatment groups; (1) an experimental 12-week rehabilitation protocol in which the amount of tendon compression is limited and (2) a 12-week control rehabilitation protocol in which the amount of tendon compression is not limited and is rather high. Both treatments consist of supervised progressive tendon-loading exercise therapy and patient education. In addition, the experimental group will also receive heel inserts to limit the amount of dorsiflexion during sports or daily activities. At baseline, at 12 weeks (end of intervention) and at 24 weeks (follow-up), pain, functionality, structure and intratendinous pressure will be determined.
Overuse shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy are common with a prevalence estimated to be 14% in the general population of which 23% of the working population with shoulder problems are sick listed. RC tendinopathy is a tendon-related pain in the proximal lateral aspect of the upper arm with weakness, especially during active elevation and external rotation, and painful active range of motion. The prevalence of RC tendinopathy is highest in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendon. Exercise therapy is regarded as an effective intervention for symptomatic RC tendinopathy for reducing pain and disability and improving function. However, the prescription is diverse and the effectiveness of specific characteristics of exercise programs is unknown. Many contextual factors and prescription parameters, such as external resistance, training intensity and frequency, home versus supervised exercises, duration of the program, etc. have been described. Some of these prescription parameters have been extensively studied, with some conflicting results. Although some level of resistance seems to matter, as well as number of sets and repetitions, the 'optimal' level and volume are unclear. Inducing or allowing pain based on tendon loading during exercises is todays consensus in the treatment of patellar and achilles tendinopathy using a pain-monitoring model. Although a number of shoulder studies report that pain either should be avoided or allowed, not one study ever examined the influence of pain allowance versus pain avoidance during a shoulder exercise program on patient outcome in terms of pain, physical function and disability. The purpose of this project is to examine the effect of allowing pain versus avoiding pain based on tendon loading during an exercise regimen for patients with symptomatic rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy. This will be accomplished in a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial, comparing the effectiveness on patient reported and objective outcomes of a "pain allowing" and "pain avoiding" exercise program, performed for 26 weeks. Our hypothesis is that allowing pain based on tendon loading during exercises would result in a better outcome in pain and function measured on SPADI (the primary outcome) compared to avoiding pain in patients with RC tendinopathy.
The aim of the study is the evaluation of clinical and radiological results after the treatment of patellar tendinopathy through the injection of autologous ultrasound-guided, intra- and peri-tendon stromal vascular fraction.
This is a randomized control trial with an elective cross over after three months to evaluate three different treatments in the management of non-insertional Achilles Tendinopathy. The treatment methods include physical therapy, shockwave therapy and photobiomodulation.
