Return to sport considerations after Achilles tendon rupture
The blog this week focuses on a recent systematic review that examined return to sport after Achilles tendon rupture. Not surprisingly, there are a significant proportion that do not return to sport at the same level.
Single leg standing considerations for gluteal tendinopathy
The blog this week focuses on 1 cool study looking at weightshift and standing kinematics in gluteal tendinopathy.
Keeping it simple during rotator cuff tendinopathy rehab
Great blog this week. A rare foray into the upper limb with a look at an interested RCT by Christ Littlewood and his group from the UK.
Read this to understand jump biomechanics in patellar tendinopathy
The blog this week focuses on one of my favourite topics; jump biomechanics in patellar tendinopathy – this time investigating the effect of fatigue, with some very relevant and interest take to clinic messages.
Achilles strain changes with exercise and warm up
Let’s press on with our blog mission of translating tendinopathy research into practice! There are a couple of interesting papers this week.
Treadmill running increases Achilles tendon force
Some great stuff in the blog this week. First a paper by Rich Willy et al. comparing patellofemoral and Achilles loads in overground and treadmill running – brings up some interesting questions for running rehab among Achilles patients. Then we have a huge review of exercise and ageing effects on tendon. Although their focus on normal tendon some messages there for loading tendinopathic tendon.
Do isometrics reduce pain in rotator cuff tendinopathy?
A couple of interesting articles in this weeks blog. First a look at a pilot study investigating isometric load and ice for managing pain in acute onset supraspinatus tendinopathy – we are lucky enough to have some insights and comments from the first author too, Phillip Parle. Then we look at ankle dorsiflexion range in the lunge test among insertional Achilles patients with clinical implications galore!
The neuromechanical adaptations to Achilles tendinosis
Ripper blog this week by Ben Cormack, from Cor-Kinetic (Twitter: @CorKinetic). He loves his movement variability and pain science and does a fabulous job of combining them on his courses.
Single leg rehab considerations
The blog today we will focus on one considerations in hip and gluteal tendon rehab - whether to do weightbearing or nonweightbearing rehab. Of course the answer is that both may be important, but let’s explore this a little.
What is the best way to load pathological tendon?
The blog this week focuses on a very interesting question - what is the best way to load a pathological tendon? This blog is co-written by one of my students and a physio from Sweden, Kenneth Färnqvist (@KFarnqvist) who has special interest in tendons and research in this area.
Top tips for proximal hamstring tendinopathy rehab
The blog this week will feature the new narrative review published by Tom Goom et al. on proximal hamstring tendinopathy.
Sagittal plane kinematics and Achilles tendinopathy
This week we will focus on a slide from the new course about sagittal plane kinematic strategy in runners with Achilles tendinopathy with some very interesting clinical take home messages.
