EP12 - Bicep curls for Achilles tendinopathy & the curious case of the 2 critical Germans
Join Ben for a new podcast exploring a new paper looking at Achilles tendionpathy and use of SHAM upper limb exercises!
So after posting this paper on Monday, ben came under a bit of criticism for two German guys who really didn't like the paper and were not backward about coming forward with their criticism.
Effectiveness of eccentric calf muscle exercise therapy in patients with chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy: a randomized controlled trial https://www.jsams.org/article/S1440-2440(26)00289-6/abstract (https://www.jsams.org/article/S1440-2440(26)00289-6/abstract)
Listen to the response to their critique and why being critical is great, until is not!
Here are the points in order
Use of the VISA A
Lack of VAS
Lack of objective measures
Drop outs
Unsupervised Exercise
Mean age
Alternative loading programs
