Abstract
Introduction: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common injury among male runners, affecting the longevity of sporting careers and participation in exercise. Abnormal rearfoot biomechanics are thought to be risk factors for AT, but their role is not well established. There is evidence to suggest that people with AT have altered eversion kinematics at the rearfoot, which may result in disproportionate loading across the medial and lateral aspects of the Achilles tendon. Altered ankle dorsiflexion mechanics have also been discussed as a cause of AT, where the tendon may be placed under a greater load in the sagittal plane.
