Resumen: | Tendinopathy is a very common disease in the general population as well as in athletes. The aim of the present study was to examine the tendon thickness and cross-sectional area (CSA) in subjects with chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy (AT) who engaged in either an eccentric exercise (EE) programme with vibration training or an EE programme combined with cryotherapy. A sample of 61 patients with chronic mid-portion AT were recruited and divided into two groups: EE programme vibration training (n = 30) and EE programme combined with cryotherapy (n = 31). Three ultrasound assessments were performed: pre-intervention and at 4, and at 12 weeks. The comparison of thickness and CSA measures at baseline, 4, and 12 weeks showed a significant (P < 0.05) increase at 0, 2, 4, and 6 cm in maximal isometric contraction and at rest in subjects with chronic mid-portion AT. The EE vibration training resulted in a statistically significant CSA increase compared with the cryotherapy group in patients with chronic mid-portion AT. |
