Professor Kristian Thorborg @Brad_Neal_07 ISTS 2016 here's a little sample

Achilles Tendons 4th Intl. Scientific Tendinopathy Symposium -SA OCT 22-24, 2016 #tendons2016 Curation by Bernadette Keefe storify.com/nxtstop1/4th-i…

Here is the poster from our #science poster winner Roxanna Abhari. #tendons2016 - Congratulations Roxanne

1) Inflammation strikes back in Tendinopathy :prof Carr makes good case for role of chronic inflammation in pathogenesis of TY 1/2

2/2 unchecked inflammation lead to pain/damage CI: does load effect inflamm/ expect future immunomodulators (drugs) to target these pathways

2) adaptation to load prof magnusson key points- tendons only respond to high load + hypertrophy independent on type of load-ecc Same as HSR

3) use visa sedentary modified visa A for non-athletic patients who don't participate in sport - reliable and valid well done Jaya Raju

4) is tendon structure/mechanical properties related to pain and function 1/4

2/4 Great work by Sean Docking who received presentation prize confirms structure a RF but little relationship bw type III and IV and OSTRC

3/4 Amy fu from Hong Kong relationship bw type III + IV and VISA P and palpation tenderness in elite junior volleyball and weightlifting

4/4 Coombes shearwave elastography reduced stiffness (softer) in Achilles but increased stiffness in patella tendinopathy

5) no central sensitisation or abnormal psychological profile in LL TY cohort m plisinga CI : jury still out on central sensitisation in LL

6) more normal structure in abnormal tendons? Not according to Achilles Tendons 21% had less CI: need longitudinal studies to confirm donut hole

7) 40% of new patients in rheum OPD Dx as tendinopathy only 20% inflammatory arthropathy great work by Dr Paul Kirwan Poster prize

8) are isometrics effective for pain in LL TY not according to Achilles Tendons no effect on pain CI isometrics worthwhile but no panacea
