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.
Heavy Slow Resistance Versus Eccentric Training as Treatment for Achilles Tendinopathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Jul;43(7):1704-1158 patients were randomized to undergo either a heave slow resistance (HSR) protocol or an eccentric training (ECC) intervention as treatment for mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy. The study was conducted in order to compare the efficacy of HSR with that of ECC as an intervention for this condition. The study found that the two regimens were comparable in pain and function scores, tendon thickness, and patient satisfaction. However, results may have been affected by a significantly greater compliance rate displayed in the HSR group.
