This morning’s meeting is delivered by our guest clinician and researcher Lauren Pringels who recently completed his PhD at Ghent University Research talking about “Achilles tendinopathy - Exploring the role of intratendinous pressure” 🦵 #tendon

Brain macrophages appear to be responsible for propagating the inflammatory cytokine signal from damaged muscles across the blood-brain barrier into the brain to produce supraspinal CNS fatigue in the post-workout period.

🦶🏽ACHILLES RUPTURE… or is it? 🤔 55M treated conservatively after pothole injury 3yrs later, still struggling—referred to SEM POCUS: large bony fragment, not rupture Likely avulsion #, not tendon rupture Early POCUS could’ve changed everything Consent ✅

PhysioOVER9000 I'm checking the original x-ray.... I wonder whether it's posterior talus, or calcaneum

When eccentric contractions are performed with long rests between each rep, post-workout fatigue occurs with no indications of myofibrillar damage, unlike when short rests are taken between each rep. Yet again, this shows that muscle damage is not the result of tearing forces.

High-resolution US is a reliable diagnostic tool for muscle belly and MTJ injuries. MRI remains essential for high-grade tendon injuries. US serves as the first-line imaging modality. MRI reserved for cases that require a detailed prognostic assessment. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40361871/

Can muscles “remember” past training? Resistance training triggers protein changes - most reverse with detraining, but some remain elevated 10 weeks later. This suggests a molecular “memory” that reflects prior training history. doi.org/10.1113/jp2881…

Achilles Tendons Thanks mate. Hopefully get to utilise this brilliant team in our Achilles project 🤞
