Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) is one the most common lower limb injury among athletes and active people. Its rehabilitation is mainly focused locally. The holistic approach of physiotherapy opens opportunities to focus AT’s rehabilitation proximally. Research already proved to correlation between hip and knee and hip and ankle. The author wanted to extend this correlation to AT and study the types of dysfunctions that can occur at the hip.
The work studied the connection between gluteus Maximus and Medius dysfunctions and Achilles tendinopathy. The dysfunctions mentioned are strength and neuromuscular control affecting the biomechanics of hip and ankle.
The aim was to increase the knowledge of physiotherapy students and bring another perspective on AT rehabilitation. The aim was achieved by sharing the information through a self-learning material available on the platform Moodle. The independent learning material explained the basis of Achilles Tendinopathy, hip and ankle biomechanics and how dysfunctions of gluteus Maximus and Medius impact distal biomechanics.
The author found a great connection between AT and hip muscles dysfunction, especially in the loss of neuromuscular control and isometric strength impacting the biomechanics of the ankle.
The self-learning material, created with H5P program, were meant to physiotherapy students.
The author encountered a small amount of research studying the topic. More studies need to be done to broaden AT rehabilitation and prevention in a holistic approach.
