Tendinopathy, resistance training, exercise, Physiotherapy, CERTAbstract
OBJECTIVES: 1. To describe what exercises and intervention variables are used in resistance training interventions for lower limb tendinopathy 2. To assess completeness of reporting as assessed by the Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) and the Toigo and Boutellier framework. 3. To assess the implementation of scientific resistance training principles.
DESIGN: Scoping review
LITERATURE SEARCH: We searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED, EMBase, SPORTDiscus, and the Cochrane library databases.
STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case series, case reports and observational studies that reported using resistance exercises for lower limb tendinopathies.
DATA SYNTHESIS: Completeness of the reporting of exercise descriptors and programme variables was assessed by the CERT and the Toigo and Boutellier framework
RESULTS: 194 studies were included. Reporting of exercise descriptor items from the Toigo and Boutellier framework ranged from 0-13, with an average score of 9/13, and only 9 studies achieved a full 13/13. Reporting of items from the CERT ranged from 0-18, with an average score of 13/19. No study achieved a full 19/19, however 8 achieved 18/19. Scoring for resistance training principles ranged from 1-10, with only 14 studies achieving 10/10. Eccentric heel drops were the most common exercise (75 studies), followed by isotonic heel raises (38), and single leg eccentric decline squats (27).
CONCLUSION: The reporting of exercise descriptors and intervention content was high across studies, with most allowing exercise replication, particularly for Achilles and patellar tendinopathy. However, reporting for some tendinopathies and content items was poor, limiting optimal translation to clinical practice.
