No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the treatment by wearing shoes inclined at kinesitherapy because it is the first treatment offered by primary care physicians in chronic Achilles tendinopathy.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

8° incline shoe

Wearing inclined shoes for 6 weeks, walking 15 minutes (2 times/day). The shoe is inclined from front to back and from top to bottom of 8 °. This causes a controlled and an eccentric contraction during the passage. During the walk we will have: In support tardigrade : an ankle dorsiflexion with a stretching the Achilles tendon (eccentric contractions). In support digitigrade: plantar flexion of ankle with a muscle contraction of triceps surae (concentric contraction).

OTHER

kinesitherapy

Daily eccentric contraction at home and once per week for 6 weeks with the physiotherapist
