Filter by:this study will investigate the structure of the Achilles tendon and functional tests in road runners compared to treadmill runners.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the outcomes of two different surgical techniques (Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus transfer - Group 1 vs Minimally Invasive primary repair - Group 2) for patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture. The main questions to be answered are: 1. Which group's patients are more satisfied? 2. Which group's patients appear to have a greater complication rate? 3. Which group's patients have greater calf and ankle circumference compared to the unaffected limb? 4. Which group's patients have greater passive and active range of ankle motion compared to the unaffected limb? 5. Are group 1 patients characterized by strength deficit in hallux flexion power?
The main purpose of the study is to investigate self-reported functional ability of patients undergoing conservatively treated achilles tendon rupture at 6, 12 and 24 months from the date of injury.
Conflicting evidence exists regarding the recommendations from the Orthopaedic section of the American Physical Therapy Association for treatment of Achilles tendinitis. Trigger point dry needling is effective in reducing pain in several body regions, but no published (TDN) studies are found reporting the effect on Achilles tendinopathy. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a treatment program performed including TDN, manual therapy and exercise will result in a significant improvement in pain, strength and function compared to a treatment program including manual therapy and exercise for Achilles tendinopathy. Subjects with Achilles tendinopathy that receive treatment including TDN, manual therapy and exercise will demonstrate a significant improvement in pain, strength and functional outcomes compared to the group that receives manual therapy and exercise.
This study is designed to compare the treatment of 2 groups in patients with Achilles tendinopathy: autologous tenocytes injection in combination with exercises versus saline injection in combination with exercises
