Spatial orientation of the subtalar joint axis is different in subjects with and without Achilles tendon disorders

Spatial orientation of the subtalar joint axis is different in subjects with and without Achilles tendon disorders Claudia A Reule, Wilfried W Alt, Heinz Lohrer, Harald Hochwald British Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 13 Quote: Abstract Background There are many possible predisposing factors for Achilles tendon disorders suggested in the literature but their pathogenetic relevance is not proven in most cases. The asymmetric mechanical load distribution within the Achilles tendon during locomotion is frequently addressed as a major risk factor for Achilles tendon disorders.
