People with Achilles tendinopathy often need to undertake a long rehabilitation program of at least 12 weeks. Little is known about the load people place through their Achilles tendon during daily activities or the relationship between daily pain, physical activity and tendon loading.
Sanam’s PhD research involves the use of wearable sensors in people with tendinopathy to understand proxy measures of tendon loading and investigate how pain can affect daily activities.
If you are interested in tendinopathy research, or the use of sensors in musculoskeletal research, you will find this episode really interesting.
Sanam also discusses the findings of her systematic review which investigated the relationship between ankle plantarflexor strength and walking speed/balance:. You can read this paper here: https://academic.oup.com/ptj/article/101/4/pzab018/6106269?login=true
It was great to get Sanam on to the podcast to talk about her research.
