It has both inflammatory and degenerative aspects, leading to ongoing discussions within the medical community regarding its precise nomenclature (naming). There are two distinct types of Achilles tendinopathy: the insertional form, accounting for 20% of cases, commonly observed in older, less active adults, and the non-insertional form, which constitutes 80% of cases and typically occurs along the tendon, approximately 2-3 cm above its insertion. The non-insertional type is more frequently seen in younger people who are more active. 🔸️Fun Facts - The Achilles tendon is the strongest in the human body - It is Subject to peak forces of 12.5 times the body weight when running at full speed - In one study, 55% of 455 patients with Achilles tendon problems were runners, and 11% soccer players - Incidence: The incidence of Achilles tendinopathy ranges from 7 to 9 per 1000 people per year.
