ICON 2023: International Scientific Tendinopathy Symposium Consensus - the core outcome set for Achilles tendinopathy (COS-AT) using a systematic review and a Delphi study of professional participants and patients.
Br J Sports Med
October 2024
To develop a core outcome set for Achilles tendinopathy (COS-AT) for use in clinical trials we performed a five-step process including (1) a systematic review of available outcome measurement instruments, (2) an online survey on truth and feasibility of the available measurement instruments, (3) an assessment of the methodological quality of the selected outcome measurement instruments, (4) an online survey on the outcome measurement instruments as COS and (5) a consensus in-person meeting. Both surveys were completed by healthcare professionals and patients. The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology guidelines with a 70% threshold for consensus were followed.

Undergraduate research (UR) can positively influence learning outcomes and research competencies related to EBP compared to traditional methods of higher education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementing a research-based activity (i.

- * This study measured the tendon-to-bone distance (TBD) using 30 fingers categorized into five groups based on the severity of simulated A2 pulley tears, revealing significant increases in TBD with longer ruptures, but no notable differences within partial rupture groups.
- * The findings indicate that a TBD of 1.6 mm is the minimum for diagnosing a partial A2 pulley rupture, while values above 3 mm can indicate a high-grade partial rupture or a complete rupture, highlighting the need for clearer diagnostic thresholds in the literature
Objective: To determine what combinations of self-reported factors distinguish patellar tendinopathy (PT) from other knee problems, and explain PT severity variance.
Design: Case-control study.
Setting: Social media, private practice and National Health Service.
Objectives: To estimate Achilles tendon forces and their relationship with self-reported pain in runners with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) during common rehabilitation exercises.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Laboratory.
Objective: To identify and describe the psychological and psychosocial constructs and outcome measures used in tendinopathy research.
Design: Scoping review.
Literature Search: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, PEDro, CINAHL, and APA PsychNet databases on July 10, 2021, for all published studies of tendinopathy populations measuring psychological and psychosocial factors.
Objectives: To confirm what impairments are present in runners with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) and explore the variance of AT severity in an adequately powered study.
Design: Case-control study.
Setting: Two private physiotherapy clinics in Australia and Spain.
Background: Nine core domains for tendinopathy have been identified. For Achilles tendinopathy there is large variation in outcome measures used, and how these fit into the core domains has not been investigated.
Objective: To identify all available outcome measures outcome measures used to assess the clinical phenotype of Achilles tendinopathy in prospective studies and to map the outcomes measures into predefined health-related core domains.
Objectives: To examine the feasibility of recommended education and exercise supplemented by a hopping intervention implemented based on self-reported pain over 12 weeks for recreational runners with Achilles tendinopathy.
Design: Single cohort feasibility study.
Setting: One private physiotherapy clinic in Melbourne, Australia.
Introduction: Biomechanical alterations during running and hopping in people with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) may provide treatment and prevention targets. This review identifies and synthesises research evaluating biomechanical alterations among people with AT during running, jumping and hopping.
Method: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CiNAHL and SPORTDiscus were searched in July 2018 for case control, cross-sectional and prospective studies investigating kinematics, kinetics, plantar pressures and neuromuscular activity in AT participants during running or hopping.
