Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of early mobilisation and immobilisation on the healing process following muscle injuries.
Markku Järvinen,M. Lehto +1 more
TL;DR: Although a little delay in healing processes in muscles mobilised after short immobilisation was found morphologically, the gain in strength and energy absorption capacity was quite similar and as good as that of muscles treated by early mobilisation alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Ruptures of the Achilles Tendon
TL;DR: Conservative treatment of an acute rupture of the Achilles tendon by immobilization with a cast provides satisfactory results, and for the younger, more athletic patient, surgical repair should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the local corticosteroids on the healing and biomechanical properties of the partially injured tendon.
TL;DR: There were significant decreases in tendon weight, amount of adhesions, load to failure, and energy to failure in the cortisone group compared to the saline group and there were no significant differences in healing and strain-elongation of the tendons in the two groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Foot Strike Pattern on Achilles Tendon Load During Running
TL;DR: This study compared Achilles tendon loading parameters during barefoot running among females with different foot strike patterns using open-source computer muscle modeling software to provide dynamic simulations of running to show that peak Achilles tendon force occurred earlier in stance phase, which contributed to a 15% increase in average Achilles tendonloading rate among participants adopting a NRFS pattern.

Thermal effects on skeletal muscle tensile behavior
TL;DR: Temperature had a significant effect on the tensile properties of rabbit skeletal muscle; these thermal effects were de pendent on both loading rate and contractile state and the theory that warming muscles can aid in injury prevention and im provement in athletic performance is supported.
