If you think of tendinopathy as a continuum, what are the 3 phases?
|
reactive tendinopathy, tendon dysrepair (failed healing) and degenerative tendinopathy
|
|
|
What is the primary driver in changing the stage someone is in for tendinopathy?
|
increasing or decreasing the load on the tendon
|
|
|
What are the general cellular changes that occur during reactive teninopathy?
|
- cells more chondroid
- increased proteoglycan production with change in matrix **These thicken the tendon, reduces stress and increases stiffness |
|
|
Describe tendon changes in the tendon dysrepair phase of tendinopathy
|
- increased cells (chondrocytic, myofibroblasts)
- marked increase in protein production (proteoglycan and collagen), which separate the collagen - may be an increase in vascularity and associated neuronal ingrowth |
