Morphological and Mechanical Assessment in the Achilles Tendon After Radiofrequency Stimulation in Runners

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Achilles Tendon Injury, Achilles Tendon

In brief

448 kHz capacitive-resistive monopolar radiofrequency is an emerging physiotherapy technique whose usefulness and clinical relevance still need to be investigated. This study is a pre-post quasi-experimental study in which several variables will be measured before and immediately after 448 kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency. It aims to analyze the morphological and mechanical changes in the Achilles tendon following the intervention in healthy runners.
