Achilles Tendinosis Scholarly Journal

Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury caused by excessive compression with repetitive storage and release of energy. This can lead to sudden injury or, in the worst case, the Achilles tendon of rupture. In both cases, a lack of flexibility or a stiff Achilles tendon can increase the risk of these injuries the current recommended term for this cohort of patients is "tendinopathy". Cook and Purdum have proposed a new strategy for approaching tendon pain, and this is called the tendon continuum. The continuum model proposed for a staging model based on tendinopathy based on changes and disorganization of the tendon. The 3 stages are: reactive tendinopathy, deterioration of the tendons and degenerative tendinopathy. It has been suggested that the tendonopathy can go up and down and this can be done by adding or removing a load on the tendon, especially in the early stages of tendinopathy. Achilles tendinopathy can be described as an insertional or average portion, the difference being the location. The insertional form is located at the transition between the Achilles tendon and the bone, and the median form is located at the level of the tendon body.
