Dysphagia Assessment and Intervention : Basic Principles for 1 Trauma Management

Achilles tendinopathy: some aspects of basic science and clinical management.

Achilles tendinopathy is prevalent and potentially incapacitating in athletes involved in running sports. It is a degenerative, not an inflammatory, condition. Most patients respond to conservative measures if the condition is recognised early. Surgery usually involves removal of adhesions and degenerated areas and decompression of the tendon by tenotomy or measures that influence the local cir...

Patellar tendinopathy: some aspects of basic science and clinical management.

Tendon injuries account for a substantial proportion of overuse injuries in sports. Despite the morbidity associated with patellar tendinopathy in athletes, management is far from scientifically based. After highlighting some aspects of clinically relevant basic science, we aim to (a) review studies of patellar tendon pathology that explain why the condition can become chronic, (b) summarise th...
