Exercise therapy in the treatment of tendinopathies of the lower limbs: a protocol of a systematic review

Abstract: Background Tendinopathies are specific degenerative conditions of the tendon characterized by pain and disability. The most common tendinopathies of the lower limbs are patellar, Achilles, gluteal, and proximal tendinopathy of the hamstring muscles. Exercise therapy has been studied for the treatment of these tendinopathies; however, different types of muscle contraction, exercise, dose, and intensity are found in the literature, which can make choosing the best treatment option difficult. The pur… Show more

“…Regarding dichotomous/categorical variables, the treatment effect will be calculated using the relative risk (RR) with 95% CI. 67–70 Since the number of included studies is greater than 5 68 and when these studies are considered as sufficiently homogeneous, outcome data will be synthesised using a random effect meta-analysis. 55 69 71 72 If meta-analysis is not possible due to heterogeneity or if the outcomes cannot be pooled, a narrative synthesis will be performed using text and table formats.…”

A search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and PEDro identified no reviews with the objective of evaluating the reporting of resistance exercises and variables within interventions for lower limb tendinopathies using recommended frameworks such as the CERT or Toigo and Boutellier framework [33].…”
