Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of power Doppler and grey scale ultrasonography, assess the relationship between severity measures and neovascularity, and describe the intra-tendon ...

Objectives Surgical removal of the plantaris tendon can cure plantaris-associated Achilles tendinopathy, a condition in which Achilles and plantaris tendinopathy coexist. However, rare cases with ...

This study might have answered it "We found it interesting that most of these patients (with bright ultrasound images) have type 2 diabetes. Seeing this pattern, we often thought, 'This patient must ...

An ultrasound of one's thigh or shoulder muscle could help detect insulin resistance, a stage that often precedes prediabetes, a study suggests. Ultrasounds of muscles of 25 patients -- who were ...

Introduction Achilles Tendon injuries are common in elite track and field (T&F) accounting for 3.7% of all injuries in 13 international athletics championships (Fedderman, 2014). Achilles Tendinopathy ...

Background/aim Exercise imparts a load on tendon tissue that leads to changes in tendon properties. Studies suggest that loading immediately reduces tendon thickness, with a loss of this response in ...

The structural characteristics of a healthy tendon are related to the anisotropic speckle patterns observed in ultrasonic images. This speckle orientation is disrupted upon damage to the tendon ...

Objective: While the sensitivity of estimated muscle forces to muscle-tendon properties is well documented for the lower limbs, little is known about the shoulder and upper limbs. The purpose of this ...
