A CRITERIA-BASED REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR CHRONIC MID-PORTION ACHILLES TENDINOPATHY: STUDY PROTOCOL FOR A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL

A criteria-based rehabilitation program for chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Abstract Background Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common overuse injury in running-related sports where patients experience pain and impaired function which can persist.A graded rehabilitation program has been successful in reducing pain and improving function to enable a return to sport.The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of di
