“…The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the human body and is primarily responsible for plantar flexion of the ankle [28]. Achilles tendon disorders can be divided into two categories: acute ruptures and chronic overuse injuries [12]. Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a chronic overuse injury characterized by progressive degeneration and impaired healing that causes pain in the tendon, often presenting in overweight middle‐aged patients [12, 14, 25, 33].…”

“…Achilles tendon disorders can be divided into two categories: acute ruptures and chronic overuse injuries [12]. Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a chronic overuse injury characterized by progressive degeneration and impaired healing that causes pain in the tendon, often presenting in overweight middle‐aged patients [12, 14, 25, 33]. The incidence rate of AT is 2.35 per 1000 in the adult population and often occurs in individuals who have recently changed their physical activity [10].…”

Purpose To assess the efect of kinesiophobia or fear of reinjury on patient-reported outcome measures and physical performance measures in patients with chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT). Methods Three databases were systematically screened for studies from inception to May 22nd, 2023 for literature investigating the impact of kinesiophobia on PROMs or physical performance metrics in AT. The authors adhered to the PRISMA and R-AMSTAR guidelines as well as the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Data on demographics, pain, level of activity, self-reported injury severity, quality of life, single-leg hop performance, and heel-raise performance were recorded. Data was presented primarily in a narrative summary fashion. The MINORS score was used for all studies to perform a quality assessment of included studies. Results Six studies comprising 705 patients were included in this review. Variations of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11 or TSK-17) were used in all studies. TSK scores were strongly correlated with the Pain Catastrophizing Score (PCS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and were correlated with decreased Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment Achilles (VISA-A) and Foot and Ankle Outcome Scores Quality of Life (FAOS-QoL) subscale scores. Kinesiophobia was associated with heel raise completion with conlicting evidence on correlations with hop test performance. Conclusion Increased kinesiophobia scores (> 35 points), measured by TSK are associated with worse PROMs, including increased pain, decreased quality of life, increased self-reported severity, and is also associated with poorer physical performance measures in patients with AT. Level of evidence IV.

“…Acute Achilles tendon rupture (AATR) most commonly affects middle-aged men 1 and sometimes may result in significant morbidity. 2 AATR management remains controversial because there is no consensus regarding optimal treatment, even though numerous high-quality studies have been published. Both nonoperative management and operative management are acceptable; the main advantages of operative treatment are tendon length and strength restoration, as well as lower rerupture rates.…”
