Tendon injuries

EFORT Open Reviews, 2017
Tendons connect muscles to bones, ensuring joint movement. With advanced age, tendons become more prone to degeneration followed by injuries. Tendon repair often requires lengthy periods of rehabilitation, especially in elderly patients. Existing medical

Investigating the Effect of Aging on the Viscosity of Tendon Fascicles and Fibers

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
In the current work, we investigate the effect of aging on the viscosity of tendon subunits. To that scope, we make use of experimental relaxation curves of healthy and aged tendon fascicles and fibers, upon which we identify the viscosity parameters ...

Effect of Physical Parameters and Training Load on Patellar Tendon Stiffness in Professional Athletes

Diagnostics, 2023
Background: Injuries of the patellar tendon commonly occur as a result of mechanical loading of the tendon during physical activity. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an established technique for assessing tendon stiffness, and has good interindividual ...

Detraining and Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Discontinuation Change Calcaneal Tendon Morphology

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2018
Several side effects of anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) administration associated with training are reported in the biomechanical properties of the calcaneal tendon (CT) of rats.

The Effects of Downhill Running and Maturation on Histological and Morphological Properties of Tendon and Enthesis in Mice

Biology, 2023
To date, it remains unclear how overuse affects the tendons and entheses at different stages of maturation. Therefore, we evaluated histological and morphological changes in the tendons and entheses in adolescent (4-week-old) and adult mice (8-week-old ...

Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain Impairs Function and Strength Without Altering Muscle or Tendon Stiffness: A Controlled Observational Study

Orthopaedic Surgery
Introduction Acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS) frequently results in persistent functional limitations. Understanding changes in calf muscle and Achilles tendon (AT) stiffness after LAS may shed light on mechanisms underlying impaired function.

Gene Therapy Using Plasmid DNA Encoding Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor 164 and Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 Genes for the Treatment of Horse Tendinitis and Desmitis: Case Reports

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
In this clinical study, for the first time we used the direct gene therapy to restore severe injuries of the suspensory ligament branch and superficial digital flexor tendon in horses (Equus caballus). We injected the plasmid DNA encoding two therapeutic

Human tendon adaptation in response to mechanical loading: a systematic review and meta-analysis of exercise intervention studies on healthy adults

Sports Medicine - Open, 2015
BackgroundThe present article systematically reviews recent literature on the in vivo adaptation of asymptomatic human tendons following increased chronic mechanical loading, and meta-analyzes the loading conditions, intervention outcomes, as well as ...

Effect of aging and exercise on the tendon.

Journal of applied physiology, 2016
Here, we review the literature on how tendons respond and adapt to ageing and exercise. With respect to aging, there are considerable changes early in life, but this seems to be maturation rather than aging per se.
