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.
No effect of extracorporeal shockwave therapy on patellar tendinopathy in jumping athletes during the competitive season: a randomized clinical trial
Am J Sports Med June 2011 vol. 39 no. 6 1191-1199Exclusive Author Interview
Jumping athletes in sports, such as volleyball and basketball, are at risk of overuse injuries with a common injury being patellar tendinopathy. 62 eligible jumping athletes with patellar tendinopathy for 3-12 months were randomized to receive either extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) or placebo, to determine the efficacy of EWST in the treatment of this injury. Pain and function in these athletes were assessed after intervention, and the ESWT treatment group was found to have no significant benefit over the placebo group.
