Overview

Narrative review reveals biomechanical factors affecting Achilles tendinopathy, highlighting intervention strategies for athletes.

Key Points

  • To explore the biomechanical factors contributing to Achilles tendinopathy and their clinical applications.
  • Conducted a narrative review of literature on Achilles tendinopathy biomechanics.
  • Examined kinematic and kinetic parameters related to tendon injuries.
  • Explored nonoperative interventions and specific exercise regimens.
  • Identified decreased plantar flexion strength and altered knee flexion as key biomechanical factors.
  • Found that abnormal motion contributes to increased mechanical load and microtrauma.
  • Emphasized the need for exercises targeting specific biomechanical deficits in rehabilitation.
