| | Achilles tendon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Xanthoma can develop in the Achilles tendon in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. | | | Orthotics can produce early relief to the tendon by the correction of malalignments, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are generally to be avoided as they make the more-common tendinosis (degenerative) injuries worse; though they may very occasionally be indicated for the rarer tendonitis (inflamatory) injuries. | | | Where tendon rupture is concerned, there are three main types of treatment: the open and the percutaneous operative methods, and nonoperative approaches. |

| | Achilles Tendon |
| | Several physical therapy treatment choices are available in the early stages of Achilles tendonitis or tendocalcaneal bursitis. | | | Problems that affect the Achilles tendon are common among active people and is one of the most common injuries among the ranks of gymnasts. | | | Achilles tendonitis is more common in athletes and overall incidence of the condition is unknown. |

| | Although understanding of pain in tendon overuse injuries is in its infancy, it is important that clinicians and researchers are aware of the inconsistencies in the prevailing paradigm. | | | Tendon and myotendinous junction in an overloaded skeletal muscle of the rat. | | | The body of the tendon, however, remains largely untouched, and postoperative ultrasonography reveals that the intratendinous hypoechoic region, so often considered pathognomonic of this condition, is still evident, yet pain is obliterated. |

| | Ruptured Tendon |
| | A tendon is the fibrous tissue that attaches muscle to bone in the human body. | | | The rotator cuff tendon is one of the most common areas in the body affected by tendon injury. | | | Your rotator cuff is located in the shoulder and is actually composed of 4 muscles: the supraspinatus (the most common tendon ruptured), infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. |

| | tendons tendon strength training |
| | Having established that the muscle tendon unit has two separate components that contribute to force production, the key question for athletes and coaches is how to improve the tendon’s elastic energy release as well as the strength of the muscles. | | | The next step in tendon research is to gain understanding of the optimum levels of tendon stiffness for individual athletes in relation to their chosen sport. | | | However, if the upper body and shoulder tendons become less compliant as a result of this strength programme, some of the efficiency of the technique may be lost. |

| | Tendonitis/Tendinitis Information |
| | A tendon is the end part of a muscle that attaches the muscle to the bone. | | | The initial approach to treating tendonitis is to support and protect the tendons by bracing any areas of the tendon that are being pulled on during use. | | | Stretching can help relax and lengthen a tendon, but never stretch the painful and inflamed area, as this can worsen the tendonitis. |

| | ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Graft Choices |
| | There is a risk of patellar tendon ruptures, as well as fracturing the patella both intraoperatively as well as postoperatively, although bone grafting the defect in the patella at the time of surgery has reduced the incidence of the latter. | | | Quadriceps tendon graft fixation in the bone tunnels utilizes the techniques employed for both patellar tendons and hamstrings. | | | Patients who have a history of patellar tendonitis, chronic patellofemoral pain or arthritis of the patellofemoral joint may also have less problems after surgery if they consider an alternative ACL graft choice. |

| | Everything About Achilles Tendons |
| | Leg muscles are the most powerful muscle group in the body and the Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body. | | | Achilles tendon ruptures are most likely to occur to middle age athletes who have not been training or who have been doing relatively little training. | | | Researchers in science, medicine, sports, and physical therapy have studied the Achilles tendon. |

| | Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction |
| | If this tendon becomes inflamed, over-stretched or torn, you may experience pain on the inner ankle and gradually lose the inner arch on the bottom of your foot, leading to flatfoot. | | | In the early stages, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction can be treated with rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen, and immobilization of the foot for 6 to 8 weeks with a rigid below-knee cast or boot to prevent overuse. | | | Tendons connect muscles to bones and stretch across joints, enabling you to bend that joint. |

| | Plantaris Tendon Rupture |
| | The plantaris muscle is a pencil-sized structure tapering down to a fine tendon which runs beneath the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to attach to the Achilles tendon or to the medial side of the tubercle of the calcaneus. | | | The function of the muscle is of little importance and, with rupture of either the muscle or the tendon, the transient disability is due only to the pain of the torn fibers or swelling from the hemorrhage. | | | If pain does not allow active plantar flexion, squeeze the gastrocnemius muscle with the patient kneeling on a chair and look for the normal plantar flexion of the foot. |

| | The achilles tendon is the connection between the heel and the most powerful muscle group in the body. | | | First, you should know that the biggest contributor to chronic achilles tendonitis is ignoring pain in your achilles tendon and running through the pain of early achilles tendonitis. | | | Contracting the muscle when it is in a stretched position, as initial therapy of an injured achilles tendon is not a good thing. |

| | Treatment for Achilles tendon ruptures can be surgical or nonsurgical. | | | The Achilles tendon is a large, strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your lower leg to your heel bone (calcaneus). | | | Depending on the condition of the torn tissue, the repair may be reinforced with other tendons. |

| | Tendons help transmit muscle tension to facilitate movement, and as flexible cords they can be angulated about bone protuberances and change the direction or pull of muscles. | | | Tendon ruptures may also occur after chronic inflammation or as a consequence of corticosteroid therapy. | | | Trauma to tendons may result in ruptures or tears, although spontaneous tendon ruptures are a known manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis and have occurred in some patients after renal transplantation or dialysis or in persons with hyperparathyroidism, systemic lupus erythematosus or renal osteodystrophy. |
