This fortnight’s episode of the MMRU podcast features physiotherapist and PhD candidate Eman Merza. Eman explains how mechanical loading is associated with Achilles tendon volume and the studies that she designed to measure changes in Achilles tendon volume in response to exercise.
If you find this episode interesting, stay tuned for part two of our conversation later this year where Eman will talk about the results of her studies. Eman will answer the questions of what load parameters lead to the greatest changes in Achilles tendon volume and how tendon volume changes relate to patient outcomes.
