Journal ArticleDOI
The Ruptured Achilles Tendon Elongates for 6 Months After Surgical Repair Regardless of Early or Late Weightbearing in Combination With Ankle Mobilization: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Pernilla Eliasson,Pernilla Eliasson,Anne-Sofie Agergaard,Anne-Sofie Agergaard,Christian Couppé,Christian Couppé,Rene B. Svensson,Rikke Hoeffner,Rikke Hoeffner,Susan Warming,Susan Warming,Nichlas Warming,Christina Holm,Mikkel Holm Jensen,Michael R. Krogsgaard,Michael Kjaer,S. Peter Magnusson,S. Peter Magnusson +17 more
TL;DR: Differences in rehabilitation loading pattern in the initial 8 weeks after the repair of an Achilles tendon rupture did not measurably alter the outcome, and muscle strength, muscle endurance, and patient-reported functional scores did not reach normal values at 12 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Achilles tendon glycation and function in diabetes
Christian Couppé,Christian Couppé,Rene B. Svensson,M. Kongsgaard,Vuokko Kovanen,Jean-Francois Grosset,Ole Snorgaard,Jesper Bencke,Jytte Overgaard Larsen,Thomas Bandholm,Tomas Møller Christensen,Anders Ploug Boesen,Ida C. Helmark,Per Aagaard,Michael Kjaer,Stig Peter Magnusson +15 more
TL;DR: Overall, Achilles tendon material stiffness and skin connective tissue cross-linking were greater in diabetic patients compared with controls, and the higher foot pressure indicates that material stiffness of tendon and other tissue may influence foot gait.
Book ChapterDOI
Hepatic Glucose Production during Exercise
TL;DR: A decline in plasma insulin is important for the rise in glucose production during exercise in a variety of species, whereas an increase in plasma glucagon is probably more important in other species than man, where glucagon plays a role only in prolonged exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of acute resistance exercise and sex on human patellar tendon structural and regulatory mRNA expression.
Bridget E. Sullivan,Chad C. Carroll,Bozena Jemiolo,Scott Trappe,S. Peter Magnusson,Simon Døssing,Michael Kjaer,Todd A. Trappe +7 more
TL;DR: Acute RE appears to stimulate a change in collagen type I, collagen type III, and MMP-2 gene regulation in the human patellar tendon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uphill running improves rat Achilles tendon tissue mechanical properties and alters gene expression without inducing pathological changes.
Katja M. Heinemeier,Dorthe Skovgaard,Monika L. Bayer,Klaus Qvortrup,Andreas Kjaer,Michael Kjaer,Stig Peter Magnusson,Stig Peter Magnusson,M. Kongsgaard +8 more
TL;DR: The tested model could not be validated as a model for Achilles tendon overuse, as the rats were able to adapt to 12 wk of uphill running without any signs of tendinopathy.
