Episode 10: Tendon Neuroplastic Training

Welcome to episode number 10 of The Residents of the Roundtable Podcast. Join Joey, Rayce, and Robert, as they discuss the topic of Tendon Neuroplastic Training and the article "Tendon neuroplastic training: Changing the way we think about tendon rehabilitation: A narrative review." Tendon rehabilitation has primarily consisted of exercise based interventions, with a focus on isometrics, eccentrics, or heavy slow resistance training with the goal to strengthen the musculotendinous structure. Little has been done to address the cortical excitation and inhibition changes that occur with tendinopathy. Utilization of externally paced exercises/movements can help address some of the motor control changes. Lastly, we address application of externally paced exercises to other conditions/pathologies to address cortical changes.

Let us know what you think!
