Continued activity with a pain-monitoring model vs rest during Achilles tendinopathy rehab .
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
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.
Continued sports activity, using a pain-monitoring model, during rehabilitation in patients with Achilles tendinopathy: a randomized controlled study
Am J Sports Med. 2007 Jun;35(6):897-906. Epub 2007 Feb 1638 patients with Achilles tendinopathy were randomized to undergo one of two treatments to examine the outcomes of function and pain. One group continued Achilles tendon-loading activity while the second group was prohibited from activity for the first 6 weeks. Both groups underwent an Achilles tendon-loading strengthening rehabilitation program for 12 weeks to 6 months. Results indicated no significant differences between the two treatments on the primary outcomes. Patients were able to continue activity if they followed a pain-monitoring model during rehabilitation treatment.
