Human Achilles tendon glycation and function in diabetes.

Journal of applied physiology, 2016
Diabetic patients have an increased risk of foot ulcers, and glycation of collagen may increase tissue stiffness. We hypothesized that the level of glycemic control (glycation) may affect Achilles tendon stiffness, which can influence gait pattern.

Achilles tenocytes from diabetic and non diabetic donors exposed to hyperglycemia respond differentially to inflammatory stimuli and stretch

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Scheme depicting the experimental set up of the study. Achilles tendons and tenocytes were isolated from heterozygous (fa/+, non diabetic: non DMT2) and homozygous (fa/fa, diabetic: DMT2) Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Tendon degeneration, collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression was determined in rat ...

Evaluation of tissue displacement and regional strain in the Achilles tendon using quantitative high-frequency ultrasound

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Achilles tendon has a unique structure-function relationship thanks to its innate hierarchical architecture in combination with the rotational anatomy of the sub-tendons from the triceps surae muscles.

Computed microtomographic imaging of revascularization during healing of Achilles tendon injury

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study explores the role of vascularization in tendon healing by comparing physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Using micro‐CT imaging, we identified distinct changes in vascular organization following injury, highlighting the dynamic interplay between angiogenesis and tendon pathology.

Biomechanical conditions of walking [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The development of rehabilitation training program for lower limb injury does not usually include gait pattern design. This paper introduced a gait pattern design by using equations (conditions of walking). Following the requirements of reducing force to the injured side to avoid further injury, we developed a lower limb gait pattern to shorten the ...

Extended field of view ultrasound imaging to evaluate Achilles tendon length and thickness: a reliability and validity study.

Muscles Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2016
BACKGROUND Achilles tendon structural changes are common after injury and correlate with recovery of function. Having simple, inexpensive, yet valid and reliable measures of Achilles tendon structure are useful both in research and clinical.

Patellofemoral Joint and Achilles Tendon Loads During Overground and Treadmill Running.

Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, 2016
Study Design Level 4, controlled laboratory study. Background Little is known regarding how the potential differences between treadmill and overground running may affect patellofemoral joint and Achilles tendon loading characteristics.

Effect of artificial gravity on calcaneal bone marrow adipose tissue and mineral content in female and male participants in 60 days of bed rest

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modulation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) with prolonged inactivity was reported in haemopoietic but not in non‐haemopoietic bones. This prospective randomized controlled trial submitted 16 men and 8 women to 60 days of 6° head‐down‐tilt bed rest.

Long harvest of the flexor hallucis longus tendon in reconstructive foot & ankle surgery: A technique guide

Foot & Ankle Surgery: Techniques, Reports & Cases, 2022
Reconstruction of the Achilles tendon for insertional disease, acute and chronic ruptures, severe mangling limb trauma, and tendon loss from necrotizing infections often results in a significant reconstructive challenge.

Generation and modification of human locomotor EMG activity when walking faster and carrying additional weight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In activities of daily living, people walk at different speeds with or without carrying additional loads. In this study, we sought to examine how human adults manage these commonly encountered additional demands during walking. We measured electromyography (EMG), triceps surae H‐reflexes, joint motion and ground reaction forces (GRF) while ...
