Achilles Tendinopathy Including Clinical Practice Guidelines

Course overview

Achilles tendinopathy affects about 6%-9% of the general population, but its prevalence is significantly higher among athletes, with a lifetime prevalence of up to 23.9%. This condition is particularly common in runners, impacting 6%-17% of running athletes at any given time. Tendinopathies present a significant challenge in physical therapy due to the nuanced knowledge required for their pathophysiology, assessments, and management. This course aims to provide physical therapists with an in-depth understanding of Achilles tendinopathy, including its etiology, assessment, treatment, and adherence to ICF guidelines.
