The role of eccentric exercise in sport injuries

Antonio Frizziero, +5 more
TL;DR: Eccentric exercise, alone or associated with other therapies, represents a feasible, cost-effective and successful tool in the treatment of well-known targets and might be promising in shoulder tendinopathy, adductor-related groin pain, hamstring strains, and ACL rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stem cell therapy for human cartilage defects: a systematic review

Philip Pastides, +3 more
- 01 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: With an increasing body of evidence in non-human and in vitro studies, more human trials are required to evaluate the true effect of such techniques in human cartilage defect repairs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A soft patellar tendon on ultrasound elastography is associated with pain and functional deficit in volleyball players

Chin Chin Ooi, +7 more
- 01 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: Soft tendon properties depicted by US elastography may be more related to patellar tendon symptoms compared to grey scale US abnormalities and the supplementation of USElastography to conventional US may enhance the sensitivity for diagnosing patella tendinopathy in routine clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Achilles tendon resting angle as an indirect measure of Achilles tendon length following rupture, repair, and rehabilitation

Michael R. Carmont, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: The ATRA increases following injury, is reduced by surgery, and then increases again during initial rehabilitation, which might be considered a simple and effective means to evaluate Achilles tendon function 1 year after the rupture.
