| Résumé : | Background Insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) is a common and painful musculoskeletal condition. The management of IAT commonly involves strengthening of the plantarflexors, although there is currently a paucity of research investigating plantarflexor neuromuscular performance specific to people with IAT. Objectives To compare plantarflexor neuromuscular performance between men with IAT and controls, and to investigate the relationship between plantarflexor neuromuscular performance and patient reported outcome measures for men with IAT. Design Case control. Method 34 men with IAT (age 43.7 years [SD 10.02], weight 89.6 kg [16.3]) were matched with 34 healthy men (age 42.8 years [SD 8.9], weight 87.2 kg [9.7]). Participants underwent a plantarflexion maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) task, and a target force matching task. Neuromuscular variables from these tasks include; MVIC, rate of torque development (RTD), electromechanical delay (EMD), and muscle force steadiness. Participants also completed questionnaires regarding; pain and function, and psychological factors. Results The IAT group had reduced MVIC (p |
