Learning outcomes
1) To develop a better understanding and knowledge of the structure and function of normal tendons and changes associated with tendinopathy.
2) To develop a comprehensive subjective and physical evaluation strategy and management protocols for the major upper and lower limb tendinopathies.
3) To develop greater understanding and knowledge of the role of imaging and injections in the assessment and management of tendinopathies.
4) To develop a comprehensive understanding of the physiological response to tendon loading and the evidence base for exercise.
5) To develop greater understanding of the relevance of nutrition on the impact of tendon health.
6) To develop greater understanding of other interventions that may be used in the management of tendinopathies including taping, surgery, manual therapy, electrotherapy and acupuncture.
