Journal ArticleDOI

The Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Lower Limb Tendinopathy A Systematic Review

TL;DR: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is an effective intervention and should be considered for GTPS, PT, and AT particularly when other nonoperative treatments have failed.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo biological response to extracorporeal shockwave therapy in human tendinopathy

TL;DR: It is suggested that the mechanical stimulus provided by ESWT might aid tendon remodelling in tendinopathy by promoting the inflammatory and catabolic processes that are associated with removing damaged matrix constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI

62 The Effectiveness Of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy In Lower Limb Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: ESWT can play a role in treatment of patients with lower limb tendinopathy alongside progressive load and flexibility management, and there is moderate evidence that combining ESWT and eccentric loading in mid-portion AT may produce superior outcomes to eccentric loading alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feasibility of using a hand-held device to characterize tendon tissue biomechanics.

TL;DR: The MyotonPRO can reliably determine the transverse mechanical properties of tendon tissue, however the measured values are influenced by the presence of overlying skin, however this does not appear to compromise the ability of the device to record physiologically and clinically relevant measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transverse tendon stiffness is reduced in people with Achilles tendinopathy: A cross-sectional study.

TL;DR: Transverse Achilles tendon stiffness can be reliably measured in people with midportion Achilles tendinopathy, and appears to be lower in people who are older, more symptomatic, and with more extensive tendon thickening.
