Abstract

The rotator cuff (RC) mainly contains four muscles and their tendons: infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor and the subscapularis..

Highlights

  • The rotator cuff (RC) mainly contains four muscles and their tendons: infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor and the subscapularis [1]

  • This study focused on patients with Achilles tendinopathy, the benefit of eccentric exercise is likely to generalize to other tendinopathies, due to the similar anatomical, physiological and pathological feature of tendinopathies [32]

  • The research findings clearly indicated that eccentric exercise can promote the synthesis of type I collagen, accelerate the neovascularization and increase the integrity of a tendons
