A Treatment Protocol for Achilles Tendinopathy with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

A Treatment Protocol for Achilles Tendinopathy with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

Achilles tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal condition for which loading programs are currently the standard of care. However, the treatment protocols vary. We therefore propose a protocol for Achilles tendinopathy treatment using extracorporeal shockwave...

Endolymphatic Duct Blockage as a Surgical Treatment Option for Ménière's Disease

Endolymphatic Duct Blockage as a Surgical Treatment Option for Ménière's Disease

Endolymphatic duct blockage is a relatively new surgical method for patients suffering from Ménière's disease. Following a regular mastoidectomy, the endolymphatic duct is identified and ligated using a regular titanium hemoclip. The effectiveness of this procedure is currently being assessed in a randomized trial.

A Passive Ankle Dorsiflexion Testing System for an In Vivo Model of Overuse-induced Tendinopathy

A Passive Ankle Dorsiflexion Testing System for an In Vivo Model of Overuse-induced Tendinopathy

This protocol presents a testing system used to induce quantifiable and controlled fatigue injuries in a rat Achilles tendon for an in-vivo model of overuse-induced tendinopathy. The procedure consists of securing the rat's ankle to a joint actuator that performs passive ankle dorsiflexion with a custom-written MATLAB script.

The Participant-Reported Implementation Update and Score (PRIUS): A Novel Method for Capturing Implementation-Related Data Over Time

The Participant-Reported Implementation Update and Score (PRIUS): A Novel Method for Capturing Implementation-Related Data Over Time

This protocol describes a novel method for collecting and analyzing data related to ongoing implementation called the Participant-Reported Implementation Update and Score (PRIUS). The PRIUS method allows for the efficient and systematic capture of data over time and from multiple viewpoints in healthcare settings.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Sports Medicine
Musculoskeletal Health

Background:

Tendinopathy is a prevalent and disabling musculoskeletal condition.
It is characterized by tendon pain, impaired function, and reduced exercise capacity.
Tendinopathy represents a significant portion of general practice consultations.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current understanding of tendinopathy pathology.
To highlight the role of inflammation in early tendinopathy.
To discuss treatment options for tendinopathy.

Main Methods:

Literature review on tendinopathy pathogenesis.
Analysis of the role of inflammation in tendon degeneration.
Evaluation of conservative and interventional treatment strategies.

Main Results:

Inflammation is an integral component of the early tendinopathy process.
This understanding refutes previous hypotheses about tendon degeneration.
Conservative treatments are the primary approach, with injections and debridement as alternatives.

Conclusions:

Current understanding supports inflammation in early tendinopathy.
This knowledge informs conservative management strategies.
Minimally invasive procedures offer viable options when conservative care is insufficient.
