Pain reduction and peak torque in plantarflexion after eccentric training in patients with achilles tendinopathy

Eccentric training can alleviate pain in patients with Achilles tendinopathy (AT). It remains open if this is accompanied by an enhanced maximum strength capacity (MSC). The purpose of the study was therefore to analyze the effects of a 12-week eccentric training on MSC of the plantar flexion in pat...

Description
Summary:Eccentric training can alleviate pain in patients with Achilles tendinopathy (AT). It remains open if this is accompanied by an enhanced maximum strength capacity (MSC). The purpose of the study was therefore to analyze the effects of a 12-week eccentric training on MSC of the plantar flexion in patients with chronic AT.
