Abstract

My PhD aimed to explore the influence of cortical and corticospinal mechanisms of motor control and their influence in plantarflexor performance in runners with Achilles tendinopathy and whether it affected each muscle of the triceps surae differently (figure 1). Alongside neurophysiological measures, I also measured plantarflexor peak isometric torque, using isokinetic dynamometry, and endurance, as the maximal number of single-leg heel raises (SLHR).
