Brief Summary:
This prospective randomised clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy in a real-world clinical setting, minimising the excessive control typically associated with explanatory studies. The primary focus is to assess the mechanical effects of high-volume image-guided injection in combination with rehabilitation exercises over three months. Additionally, the study will determine the overall clinical improvement in participants. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is high-volume image-guided injection treatment superior to the usual care in treating mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy? Do mechanical and morphological properties of the tendon change after the treatment?
Detailed Description:
The objectives of this trial are to
* Evaluate the effectiveness of high-volume image-guided injection combined with rehabilitation exercises in improving symptoms and functionality in patients with mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy.
* Measure changes in the mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon, including dynamic stiffness, as well as morphological characteristics such as thickness, cross-sectional area, and neovascularisation following treatment.
* Assess patient-reported outcomes related to pain, disability and function using validated questionnaires
* Explore participants' experiences and perceptions regarding their symptoms and the trial itself.
