Ultrasonographic Measurements of the Achilles Tendon in Elderly Athletes and Sedentary Men
1994
Ultrasonography was performed on the Achilles tendon of the dominant limb of 18 male elderly athletes and 11 sedentary men, aged 70 to 80 years. The tendons were examined with a real-time linear array scanner using a 7.5 MHz transducer. Both longitudinal and transverse images were taken. The mean width of the Achilles tendon was significantly larger in the athletes than in the control subjects. The tendon thickness and cross-sectional area did not differ significantly between the groups, but the figures may indicate a tendency for larger cross-sectional area in the athletes. The results suggest tendon hypertrophy following long-term training.
Significance of passively induced stretch reflexes on achilles tendon force enhancement
1998
An in vivo buckle transducer technique was applied to study the reflex contribution to ATF enhancement during passive dorsiflexion stretches. Single stretches led to a linear ATF increase in the absence of an EMG reflex response, whereas clear ATF enhancement over the passive component occurred 13-15 ms after the onset of EMG responses. To quantify the reflexly induced increase in ATF, the stretched position was maintained. The mean reflex effect was two to four times greater than the passive stretch effect.
Biomechanical Loading of Achilles Tendon During Normal Locomotion
1992
Direct in vivo Achilles tendon force measurements open up new possibilities for understanding the loading of the Achilles tendon during natural locomotion. This article describes how these human experiments can be performed. The results of these experiments imply that Achilles tendon forces are unexpectedly high in certain activities (e.g., hopping) and that the rates of loading rather than the absolute magnitudes of the recorded forces may be more relevant for clinical purposes as well as for the construction of artificial tendon materials.
Ahileja cīpslas ruptūras un to ārstēšana Traumatoloģijas un ortopēdijas slimnīcā 2012.-2014. gadā
2016
Darba aktualitāte: Ahileja cīpslas ruptūra ir bieža trauma sportistu un to cilvēku vidū, kuri nodarbojas ar sportiskām aktivitātēm brīvajā laikā, kā arī šādas traumas tiek gūtas sadzīviskos notikumos, Latvijā un visā pasaulē. Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, cik daudz Ahileja cīpslas ruptūru ir saistītas ar sportiskajām aktivitātēm, šo cilvēku vidējais vecums un kuram dzimumam biežāk šāda trauma sastopama, kā arī noskaidrot, vai pacienti ir ievērojuši ārsta rekomendācijas un vai ir apmierināti ar ārstēšanas rezultātu. Metodes un materiāli: Pētījums sastāv no divām daļām: pacientu slimības vēsturu datu apkopošanas un pacientu telefonaptaujas. Pētījums tika veikts Traumatoloģijas un ortopēdij…
