Abstract:
Abstract The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest of human tendons, and its proper function is essential for normal gait. Most acute Achilles tendon injuries occur during sports, particularly in ball games. The purposes of this study were (1) to examine the incidence of total Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) over a 33-year period in the city of Oulu and to investigate its changes with respect to age, sex, and injury mechanism.

Abstract:
The Achilles tendon is the strongest, yet most commonly injured tendon in the human body. Repeated or sustained loading of the Achilles tendon during exercise could induce transient changes in gross mechanical and morphological properties that impact on muscle-tendon performance and tissue homeostasis, and may therefore be important in the context of tendon injury and adaptation. Characterising the immediate effect of commonly performed exercise routines on these properties would broaden our understanding of exercise-induced tendon adaptation and lead to more targeted exercise interventions.

Abstract:
Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (tendinosis) is a troublesome painful condition, often characterised by pain, local swelling, tenderness and functional disability. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis is poorly understood and treatment remains challenging. Features related to the peritendinous connective tissue can be of importance. Recently it has been suggested that the plantaris tendon might be involved in this condition. Furthermore, it has been hypothesised that tendon pain and the tendinosis-related tissue changes in tendinopathy might be mediated by signalling substances such a

Abstract:
Achilles tendon ruptures in humans are followed by a long period of immobilisation, rehabilitation and limitations of physical activity and sometimes work also. This prolonged period probably leaves a marginal for improvement in the management of this injury. Animal studies have shown that there are several possibilities to influence and improve tendon healing. The aim of this thesis was to find a way to examine the mechanical properties of the healing human Achilles tendon and, by using that method, to gain a better understanding of the tissue properties and healing process in these tendons.

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a debilitating condition affecting active and inactive subjects. The aetiology of AT is contentious but most theoretical models are underpinned by the same core elements: increased tendon stress that exceeds the ability of the tendon to repair, eventually leading to tissue degradation. Proposed risk factors affect tissue load or the ability of the tendon to repair, unfortunately many proposed risk factors lack biological plausibility.

Although mechanical loading correlate to multi-hierarchical changes, the multiscale response during tendon damage remains not yet fully understood.

At the nano/macroscales, increased levels and durations of strains resulted in increased changes in form and function.

Pain, being the foremost impairing symptom, leads us to the hypothesis that nerves are deeply involved in the symptoms and processes of Achilles tendinosis.

The human Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the body, but it is also the tendon most prone to developing tendinopathy. Tendinopathy is a clinical term used to describe tendon pathology that presents clinically as a painful, thickened tendon with altered mechanical behaviour.

However calf exercises are likely to impose very different stresses and strains on the tendons of different individuals as a result of inter-subject variability in tendon geometry, tendon material prope

Abstract:
Background Rupture of the Achilles tendon occurs in over 11,000 people annually in the UK. Traditional management using cast immobilisation is being slowly replaced by immediate weight bearing rehabilitation, but currently there is no consensus regarding the exact protocol to be used. The aim of this thesis was to develop an immediate weight bearing rehabilitation protocol for patients who have sustained an acute rupture of their Achilles tendon to inform a definitive evaluation of its effectiveness. To achieve this aim a framework (by the Medical Research Council) for defining and developing

Abstract:
The endogenous cannabinoids anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) exert their effect by activating cannabinoid receptors (CB). These receptors mediate a broad range of physiological functions such as beneficial effects in pain and inflammation, although little is known about the expression of CB receptors in human pain conditions. AEA and 2-AG are short- lived molecules due to their rapid cellular accumulation and metabolism. The enzymes primarily responsible for their degradation are fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) for AEA and monoacylglycerol lipase

Abstract:
Achilles tendonbrott (Achilles Tendon Rupture, ATR) är en av de typiska mjukvävnadsskadorna. Rehabilitering efter sådana muskuloskeletala skador förblir en långvarig process med ett mycket variet resultat. Att kunna förutsäga rehabiliteringsresultat exakt är avgörande för beslutsfattande stöduppdrag. I detta arbete designar vi en probabilistisk modell för att förutse rehabiliteringsresultat för ATR med hjälp av en klinisk kohort med många saknade poster. Vår modell är tränad från början till slutet för att samtidigt förutsäga de saknade inmatningarna och rehabiliteringsresultat. Vi utvärderar
