A longer Achilles tendon moment arm length is not associated with superior hopping performance

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Variability in musculoskeletal and lower leg structure has the potential to influence hopping height. Achilles tendon moment arm length and plantarflexor muscle strength can influence ankle joint torque development and, consequently, hopping performance.

Effect of front and back squat techniques on peak loads experienced by the Achilles tendon [PDF]

, 2015
Background A primary technique in the discipline of strength and conditioning the squat has two principal ‘back and front’ variants. Despite the physiological and strength benefits of the squat, the propensity for musculoskeletal injury is high.

Testosterone replacement therapy is associated with increased odds of Achilles tendon injury and subsequent surgery: a matched retrospective analysis

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2023
Background Prescription of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has increased in the United States in recent years, and though anabolic steroids have been associated with tendon rupture, there is a paucity of literature evaluating the risk of Achilles ...

Achilles tendon detachment after local infiltration of corticosteroids

Journal of the Foot & Ankle, 2021
Complete disinsertion of the Achilles tendon is relatively rare but is an injury of considerable clinical significance. A 50-year-old non-smoking man presented with complete disinsertion of the Achilles tendon due to an indirect low-energy trauma shortly

Decellularized Extracellular Matrix (dECM) in Tendon Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Decellularized Extracellular Matrix (dECM) offers a promising solution by replicating the native tendon microenvironment and promoting regeneration. This review highlights advances in the decellularization methods, as well as their integration with emerging technologies and translational progress in tendon tissue engineering.

Muscular and Tendon Degeneration after Achilles Rupture: New Insights into Future Repair Strategies

Biomedicines, 2021
Achilles tendon rupture is a frequent injury with an increasing incidence. After clinical surgical repair, aimed at suturing the tendon stumps back into their original position, the repaired Achilles tendon is often plastically deformed and mechanically ...

Self‐Assembling Peptide Hydrogels Support Stromal Vascular Fraction Viability to Promote In Vivo Nerve Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) may enhance nerve repair, especially when delivered in a self‐assembling peptide hydrogel (SAPH). In vitro, softer SAPH increased neuronal explant outgrowth and supported greater SVF viability and proliferation. In a rat sciatic defect, SVF in an optimized SAPH produced motor and sensory recovery equivalent to autograft ...

The Free Achilles Tendon Is Shorter, Stiffer, Has Larger Cross-Sectional Area and Longer T2* Relaxation Time in Trained Middle-Distance Runners Compared to Healthy Controls

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Tendon geometry and tissue properties are important determinants of tendon function and injury risk and are altered in response to ageing, disease, and physical activity levels.
