Introduction[edit | edit source]
The development of a rehabilitation plan for an individual presenting with confirmed symptomatic tendinopathy requires complex clinical reasoning, with reference to the pathoanatomical diagnosis. Tendon pathology and subsequent rehabilitation will vary considerably depending on the site of pathology; stage of the tendinopathy; functional assessment; activity status of the person; contributing issues throughout the kinetic chain; comorbidities; and concurrent presentations[1].
Our key goal in tendinopathy rehabilitation is improving the capacity of the tendon and muscle to manage load[2]. Each component of the rehabilitation programme, in particular loading, must be manipulated in relation to the nature, speed and magnitude of the forces applied to the muscle/tendon/bone unit in order to achieve the goals of the particular management phase without causing an exacerbation of the pathological state or pain[1].
Rehabilitation Progression[edit | edit source]
Goon[2] suggests considering tendinopathy rehabilitation in phases:
