Record History

  1. Study First Submitted
The Achilles tendon exhibits high tensile strength and can withstand extremely high loads. However, it is susceptible to injuries such as tendinopathies and ruptures, which are associated with structural alterations and loss of function. Strategies have been investigated to enhance clinical rehabilitation. Nevertheless, the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on pain and functional improvement, as well as the optimal dosing parameters for the rehabilitation of Achilles tendon injuries, remain inconclusive. The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of two electrical stimulation protocols on pain, functional performance, peripheral oxygen extraction, and maximal tendon displacement during a single leg heel rise functional task in patients with Achilles tendinopathy and/or a history of Achilles tendon rupture. In addition, this study aims to characterize Achilles tendon structural properties and ankle plantarflexor muscle strength in this population.
