Intratendinous strain distribution in Achilles tendon and tendinosis. KU Leuven
Achilles tendinopathy is well known for its unclear pathophysiology andtroublesome management. The exact intratendinous location of the tendinosis lesion has been suggested to play an important role in Achilles tendinopathy. It is hypothesized that local intratendinous strain variability may contribute to the occurrence of tendinosis development at different locations. Local strain differences may also influence the efficacy of therapeutic ...
