Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to compare the treatment by wearing shoes inclined at kinesitherapy because it is the first treatment offered by primary care physicians in chronic Achilles tendinopathy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

8° incline shoe

The shoe is inclined from front to back and from top to bottom of 8 °. This causes a controlled and an eccentric contraction during the passage.

During the walk we will have:

In support tardigrade : an ankle dorsiflexion with a stretching the Achilles tendon (eccentric contractions).

In support digitigrade: plantar flexion of ankle with a muscle contraction of triceps surae (concentric contraction).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

8° incline shoe

Intervention Type DEVICE

Wearing inclined shoes for 6 weeks, walking 15 minutes (2 times/day).

The shoe is inclined from front to back and from top to bottom of 8 °. This causes a controlled and an eccentric contraction during the passage.

During the walk we will have:

In support tardigrade : an ankle dorsiflexion with a stretching the Achilles tendon (eccentric contractions).

In support digitigrade: plantar flexion of ankle with a muscle contraction of triceps surae (concentric contraction).

kinesitherapy

The patient performs its home therapy and consults his physiotherapist once a week according to the protocol Stanish

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

kinesitherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Daily eccentric contraction at home and once per week for 6 weeks with the physiotherapist
