Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | |
Study type | Interventional |
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.

Primary | Symptoms | Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment - Achilles questionnaire (VISA-A), Scale 0-100 with higher scores indicate better outcome. | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Primary | Tendon Structure | Ultrasound imaging of tendon structure | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Primary | Tendon Mechanical Properties | Use of Continuous shear wave elastography to measure shear modulus and viscosity | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Primary | Muscle-tendon function | Functional test battery consisting of one endurance heel-rise test and three jump tests | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Activity level | Measure of daily step counts | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Foot and Ankle related quality of life | Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) Quality of Life subscale, scale ranges from 0-100 with higher score indicate better outcome. | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Kinesiophobia | Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), scale ranges from 17 to 68 where the higher scores indicate an increasing degree of kinesiophobia. | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Physical Activity level | Physical Activity Scale (PAS), scale ranges from 1-6 with higher score indicting greater degree of physical activity. | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Pain level | Numeric Pain rating scale, scale ranges from 0-10 with higher scores indicating greater degree of pain. | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Secondary | General Health Status- Health related Quality of Life | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS) - 29, measures health-related quality of life consisting of 29 question survey divided into seven sub-domains of function including physical functioning, social function, pain interference, pain intensity, sleep, depression, and anxiety. | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Mechanical Pain Threshold | Pressure Pain Threshold | Change over time during 12 months with evaluation every 8 weeks |
