About this episode

This episode discusses tendon management and force testing with Chris Juneau, focusing on load-based rehab strategies and biomechanics.

Takeaways Tendon management evolution from avoidance to load-based strategies The role of biomechanics and physics in rehab Historical perspective on tendon protocols like Alfredson's The importance of strain, dose, and load in tissue adaptation Differences between pain reduction and stiffness improvement Objective measurement of tendon stiffness and strain The impact of subjective pain versus objective load Practical approaches to load prescription in rehab Future directions in in vivo strain measurement The influence of neural and muscular factors on tendon health Tendon training and its impact on injury prevention Force testing methods and their limitations The significance of consistent measurement in clinical practice Differences in force output based on joint position and testing protocols The role of strength and stiffness in tendon health Practical approaches for non-elite athletes to improve tendon resilience The importance of standardized testing to compare data across studies and clinics Challenges in interpreting force data and injury risk correlations The potential of imaging and force testing to predict injury risk Future directions in in vivo tendon strain…
