  1. 6. Achilles Tendon Ruptures Predictors; functional and economic impact

    Författare :Olof Westin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; re-rupture; predictors of outcome; health economics; Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score ATRS ;

    Sammanfattning : Acute Achilles tendon rupture is a common injury, which leads to significant morbidity in patients. Many patients never recover their full function even after long rehabilitation, whereas others make a good recovery. The factors behind this are unknown. The optimal treatment strategy, whether or not to treat surgically, is still controversial. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Eccentric training in the treatment of tendinopathy

    Författare :Per Jonsson; Håkan Alfredson; Jan Ekstrand; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Eccentric training; Achilles tendon; patellar tendon; supraspinatus tendon; impingement; tendinopathy; tendinosis;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic painful tendinopathies are common, not only in sports and recreationally active people, but also among people with a sedentary lifestyle. Both the lower and upper limbs are affected. There is lack of knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis to tendinopathy, and many different treatments options have been presented. LÄS MER

  4. 8. BMP treatment for improving tendon repair. Studies on rat and rabbit Achilles tendons

    Författare :Carina Forslund; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatologi; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; ortopedi; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : We wanted to improve tendon healing by adding a growth factor. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are well known to stimulate bone healing and bone formation. The local environment is of major importance for cell differentiation after a BMP has been added. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Acute achilles tendon rupture : predictors and intervention to promote outcome

    Författare :Erica Domeij Arverud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Achilles tendon rupture;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Orthopaedic trauma and surgery is still associated with major complications related to immobilization, which results in reduced circulation, thromboembolic events, impaired healing and functional deficits. An acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is associated with a high risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and varied extent of impaired physical ability. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Acute Achilles tendon rupture - The impact of calf muscle performance on function and recovery

    Författare :Annelie Brorsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Achilles tendon rupture; Rehabilitation; Heel-rise; Function; Recovery; Calf muscle; Ankle biomechanics; Endurance; Jump; Sex differences;

    Sammanfattning : There is an ongoing debate about the optimal treatment for patients with an acute Achilles tendon rupture. The overall purpose of this thesis was to acquire a greater knowledge of the way patients recover at different time points after the injury when treated with the currently recommended treatment protocols.
