Achilles Tendinopathy: Eccentric loading and SWT more effective than wait-and-see approach .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Eccentric loading, shock-wave treatment, or a wait-and-see policy for tendinopathy of the main body of tendo Achillis: a randomized controlled trial
Am J Sports Med. 2007 Mar;35(3):374-83. Epub 2007 Jan 2375 patients with Achilles Tendinopathy were randomized to receive eccentric calf loading, low energy shock-wave therapy, or a wait-and-see approach to compare the efficacies of theses treatments for this condition. The results at 4 months indicated that treatment of Achilles tendinopathy using eccentric calf loading and low energy shock-wave therapy was more effective compared to a wait-and-see approach. The success rate of those who used these approaches was 50-60%. The wait-and-see approach was the least effective method in treating Achilles tendinopathy.
