Summary
Achilles enthesopathy is a common and often long-lasting injury among exercising individuals.
Very little is known regarding the effect of different treatment strategies.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate two treatment strategies for achilles enthesopathy:
Resistance training and restricted loading + corticosteroid injection compared to resistance
training and restricted loading + local anesthesia injection.
50 patients with achilles enthesopathy are randomly assigned to the two treatment groups in
this double blinded RCT.
