Outcome measure[edit | edit source]
The following patient-reported and performance-based outcome measures should be selected and used in the management of Achilles tendinopathy.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures - PROMS[edit | edit source]
- Victorian Institute of Sports-Achilles - VISA-A (1)
- Available here
- VISA-A (Sedentary) (5)
- Detailed questionnaire, developed to evaluate response to treatment in a sedentary population.
- Available here (Click on ‘view questionnaire’) |- |B. Generic Outcome Measures |- |They are not designed specifically for Achilles Tendinopathy. Such as:
- Numeric Pain Reporting Scale - NPRS (0-10) Used to measure pain intensity only and it has been considered as a useful tool to measure immediate response to functional testing or post treatment response for mid-portion Achilles tendinoapthy. Available here
- Lower Extremity Functional Scale - LEFS Available here |}
Performance-Based Outcome Measures: (Clinician-Reported)[edit | edit source]
- It is suggested as the main impairment measure for Achilles tendinopathy. It measures a combination of load tolerance and calf muscle endurance.
- Click here to see a video of how to correctly perform the Heel-Rise test. |- |2. Single Leg Hop Test
- Assesses energy storage-release function of tendon, and the stretch-storage cycle (SSC) required for cyclic weight bearing activities such as running.
- Available here |}
