The pathogenesis of tendinopathy and the primary biological change in the tendon that
precipitates pathology have generated several pathoaetiological models in the literature …

A tendon transfers force from the contracting muscle to the skeletal system to produce
movement and is therefore a crucial component of the entire muscle‐tendon complex and its …

Tendon pain remains an enigma. Many clinical features are consistent with tissue disruption—
the pain is localised, persistent and specifically associated with tendon loading, whereas …

The biggest compartment of the musculoskeletal system is the tendons and ligaments. In
particular, tendons are dense tissues connecting muscle to bone that are critical for the …

Tendons are designed to take tensile load, but excessive load can cause overuse
tendinopathy. Overuse tendinopathy results in extensive changes to the cells and …

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment for chronic
tendinopathies, however little is known about the in-vivo biological mechanisms of ESWT …

Achilles tendinopathies display focal tissue thickening with pain and ultrasonography
changes. Whilst complete rupture might be expected to induce changes in tissue …

Overloading of tendon tissue with resulting chronic pain (tendinopathy) is a common
disorder in occupational‐, leisure‐and sports‐activity, but its pathogenesis remains poorly …

Background/aim The Achilles tendon is a tissue that responds to mechanical loads at a
molecular and cellular level. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the expression of …

Lateral elbow tendinopathy, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a condition that can cause
significant functional impairment in working-age patients. The term tendinopathy is used to …
