Filter by: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.
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.
This study will evaluate if there is a difference in recovery of tendon structure and mechanical properties between males and females with Achilles tendinopathy receiving exercise treatment. It will evaluate recovery of tendinopathy with exercise intervention using outcome measures for tendon structure and mechanical properties along with validated measures of muscle-tendon function and symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether sclerotherapy using a 25% dextrose and 1% lidocaine solution is an efficacious treatment for patients with chronic Achilles tendinopathy who have failed a home based, heavy load eccentric training program.
