• #16 Preventive interventions for tendinopathy: A systematic review – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25981200/

  Objectives: Tendinopathy, the most prevalent tendon disorder which is considered as the clinical diagnosis of pain and dysfunction, is common in sports and its prevalence is ever-increasing. Despite the lack of clarity about risk factors, various preventive interventions for tendinopathy have been investigated. The main objective of this study is to review current preventive interventions for tendinopathy in the major regions: ankle, knee, hip, groin, shoulder and elbow. […] Conclusions: There is limited evidence that a long-term intervention including balance training is effective in the prevention of patellar and Achilles tendinopathy. Shoe adaptations in the form of shock absorbing insoles could have a preventive effect on Achilles tendinopathy. Hormone replacement therapy seems to reduce the risk for structural Achilles tendon changes in active post-menopausal women. No evidence was found for a positive effect of stretching exercises. Prophylactic eccentric training and stretching can increase the risk of injury in asymptomatic players with patellar tendon abnormalities. A limited amount of studies was available and more research is needed on (multifactorial) etiology, risk factors and preventive interventions.

  Overall, prevention strategies for Achilles tendinopathy have not been well established within the literature. Achilles stretching and plantar flexion strengthening protocols are reasonable to institute in impact-sport athletes for both primary and secondary prevention. […] Optimizing both tibiotalar and subtalar joint motion is recommended. In addition, avoiding fluoroquinolones and other medications that may be associated with tendinopathy is advised, especially in athletes with high impact load. […] Balance training in elite female soccer players also has been suggested as an effective preventative strategy for Achilles tendinopathy. Further research is needed to better define the optimal prevention program.

  How to prevent patellar tendonitis: Although you can experience patellar tendonitis from regular, everyday activities, there are steps you can take to try and prevent it from occurring altogether. […] Warm up before activity. Walk for five to 10 minutes or do dynamic stretches to prepare your body for a more vigorous workout, especially one that involves running, jumping, or hiking. […] Strengthen and stretch thigh muscles. Tight and weak thigh muscles (quadriceps and hamstrings) are associated with a higher incidence of patellar tendonitis. The quadriceps also connect to the patellar tendon. Anything that strengthens the quads also strengthens the patellar tendon, says Dr. Anderson. […] Listen to your body. Pain is tricky because its not always an accurate indication of damage. Sometimes, we feel pain when theres no damage present. Other times, pain is a signal that your body might experience an injury soon. You dont need to drop everything and stop moving at the first sign of a twinge in your knee. But putting heavy loads on an already inflamed tendon may make for a longer recovery. If you notice knee discomfort, its okay to temporarily scale back to prevent pain from getting worse.

  Tendinitis, a common workplace health issue, refers to the inflammation of tendons, resulting in intense, chronic pain. It occurs when a tendon is overused, surpassing the body’s ability to recover. Typically, tendinitis is caused by repetitive movements that lead to microscopic injuries. These small tears accumulate over time, eventually causing tendon inflammation. Tendinitis is more likely to occur when a tendon is poorly conditioned or not properly warmed up. In addition, a sedentary lifestyle and aging are recognized factors that contribute to its development, according to scientific research. […] While physical activity, proper hydration, and ergonomic workstation adjustments are recommended to reduce the risk of tendinitis, they may not always be enough. Upper limb exoskeletons designed for the shoulders and arms offer an effective solution to prevent or mitigate tendinitis. Engineered to redistribute weight and load to the hips and legs, they enable:
