Article Synopsis
- A recent study examined the effects of a 12-week pain-guided activity modification program on elite athletes with early Achilles or patellar tendinopathy, showing clinical improvements despite unchanged tendon structure.
- The research involved 65 athletes divided into three groups based on symptom duration (0-3 months) and assessed various clinical and imaging outcomes at the beginning and end of the study.
- Key findings revealed that while athletes reported reductions in pain and improvement in function, the structural aspects of their tendons remained largely the same throughout the 12-week period, indicating that clinical recovery does not necessarily correlate with physical changes in tendon morphology.
