Achilles Tendinopathy and Rupture
The Achilles tendon begins near the mid-calf and inserts into the posterior of the calcaneus, connecting the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to the ankle. It is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath (paratenon, or 'paratendon'), rather than a true synovial sheath. The paratenon, which is very vascular and highly innervated, stretches with movement, allowing maximum gliding action. Near the ...
متن کاملThe VISA-A questionnaire: a valid and reliable index of the clinical severity of Achilles tendinopathy.

OBJECTIVE To develop and test a questionnaire based instrument that would serve as an index of severity of Achilles tendinopathy. METHODS Item generation, item reduction, item scaling, and pretesting were used to develop a questionnaire to assess the severity of Achilles tendinopathy. The...

متن کاملCorrelation between Ultrasonography Findings and Electrodiagnostic Severity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: 3D Ultrasonography
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To determine the correlation between the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve measured at the wrist using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography (US) and the electrophysiological severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS We prospectively examined 102 wrists of 51 patients with clinical CTS, which were classified into 3 groups according to the electrodi...
