Takeaways
- The diagnosis often does not dictate treatment in rehab.
- Tendon stiffness is a key factor in rehabilitation.
- Individualized treatment plans are crucial for effective rehab.
- Metabolic health can significantly impact tendon pain.
- Stretching may still have a role in tendon health.
- Compression effects on tendons are complex and not fully understood.
- Maintaining activity levels can be beneficial during rehab.
- Loading protocols should be tailored to the individual.
- Muscle-tendon imbalances can increase injury risk.
- Research continues to evolve our understanding of tendon adaptation. Tendon strain is influenced by joint angle and muscle contraction.
- Isometric holds may not be the only effective method for tendon rehabilitation.
- Patient-centered care is crucial in designing rehabilitation programs.
- Performance goals should be integrated into rehabilitation strategies.
- Muscle strength plays a significant role in tendon health and recovery.
- The body can adapt to protect injured areas, complicating rehabilitation.
- Isometrics can provide analgesic effects, but results vary among individuals.
- Conscious isolation of muscle groups may be necessary for effective rehab.
- Tendons respond to load, regardless of the type of contraction used.
- Understanding individual patient goals is essential for effective treatment.
