“…Patellofemoral disorders are associated with high impact physical activities such as depth jumping, which utilize high levels of knee 45 flexion (Crossley, Bennell, Green, Cowan, & McConnell, 2002;Witvrouw et al, 2013). In addition to this, injury to the Achilles tendon is also common in active populations (de Jonge et al, 2011). The Achilles tendon experiences large forces during the landing phase of jumping activities (Self & Pain, 2000),…”

Plyometric training is used by athletes to promote strength and explosive power. However plyometric activities such as depth jumping are associated with a high incidence of injuries. This study examined the influence of minimalist and conventional footwear 10 on the loads experienced by the patellofemoral joint and Achilles tendon. Patellofemoral and Achilles tendon forces were obtained from ten male participants using an eight -camera 3D motion capture system and force platform data as they completed depth jumps in both footwear conditions. Differences between footwear 15 were calculated using paired t-tests. The results show that the minimalist footwear were associated with significantly lower patellofemoral contact force/pressure and also knee abduction moment. It is therefore recommended, based on these observations, that those who are susceptible to knee pain should consider minimalist foot-20 wear when performing plyometric training.

“…These injuries are more common among athletes, but the incidence in the general population is growing as a result of the increase in physical activities. Overload of the tendon appears to be a risk factor for the development of tendon disorders, like acute tendonitis, especially in the lower extremities in athletes 1 . This condition is characterized by inflammatory signs and can occur by a mechanism that has not been clarified yet, and includes repetitive motion, chafing and pressure tendon overload 2 .…”

1 5-Experimental SurgeryActa Cir Bras. 2017;32(2):125-139 Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effect of human amniotic membrane (hAM) fragment on inflammatory response, proliferation of fibroblast and organization of collagen fibers in injured tendon. Methods: Sixty rats were divided into 3 groups: C -surgical procedures without tendon lesion and with simulation of hAM application; I -surgical procedures, tendon injury and simulation of hAM application; T -surgical procedures, tendon injury and hAM application. These groups were subdivided into four experimental times (3, 7, 14 and 28 days). The samples underwent histological analysis and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Results: Histological analysis at 14 days, the T group showed collagen fibers with better alignment. At 28 days, the I group presented the characteristics described for the T group at 14 days, while this group presented aspects of a mature connective tissue. FT-IR analysis showed a clear distinction among the three groups at all experimental times and groups T and I presented more similarities to each other than to group C. Conclusion: Acute injury of tendon treated with human amniotic membrane fragment showed a faster healing process, reduction in inflammatory response, intense proliferation of fibroblasts and organization of collagen fibers.
