| Résumé : |
Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate and quantify with ultrasound imaging (USI) the Achilles tendon thickness, cross-sectional area (CSA), Kager's fat pad length and gastrocnemius-soleus pennation angle (PA) between chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy (AT) and healthy subjects. Methods A total sample of 143 individuals (age: 41.3 + 12.0 y; height: 1.74 + 0.0 m; weight: 75.0 + 11.4 kg; body mass index, BMI: 24.4 + 2.6 kg/m2) was recruited and divided in two groups: chronic mid-portion AT group (n = 71) and a healthy group (n = 72). Results The thickness and CSA at 4 cm and 6 cm from the calcaneus was increased showing statistically significant differences (P Conclusions This study reported an increase of Achilles tendon thickness and CSA at 4 cm and 6 cm from the calcaneus as well as a decrease in gastrocnemius-soleus PA and Kager's fat pad length in patients with chronic mid-portion AT. |
