Biomechanical insights into Achilles tendinopathy risk and protection in runners: a large prospective study 4HAIE
We identified a lower peak ankle inversion moment, a lower peak ankle external rotation angle and a greater running volume as significant predictors of the onset of Achilles tendinopathy. Targeting biomechanical factors and running volume may help prevent Achilles tendinopathy.
