How Athletes Can Prevent Achilles Ruptures and Injuries
➡️Achilles Pain Workout Program: sports-rehab-e...
Achilles ruptures and injuries are becoming more and more prevalent. Luckily Achilles rupture rehab and repairs are improving and allowing people to get back to high levels of activity! However, it would be a lot better for the person or athlete overall if they never had the Achilles rupture or injury in the first place. Achilles injury prevention gets a lot of talk, but its mostly just stretching (generally poor advice to just stretch you Achilles endlessly). Better advice for Achilles injuries is to strengthen the area. The best advice would be to gain a relative degree of strength in the Achilles, then learn how to move in a way that is most efficient for the Achilles tendon to be loaded so that the injury is less likely to happen in the first place!

This is fascinating. I just tore my second Achilles tendon playing soccer last weekend (first one at age 36 playing basketball). Both injuries occurred during a step-back scenario where I attempted to accelerate forward for a loose ball. I can picture my heel dropping and knee extending each time.

I recognise the truth discussed in this clip with moving backwards and the stress it has on your achilles. I tore my achilles tendon in a rapier and dagger historical fencing tournament, and it happened not when I was moving forward but when I was retreating, and moving backwards. Rapier fencing has a lot of explosive movements and extensions with the whole body. The thing is, how do I strengthen my tendons for moving backwards. (I do not have access t a sled. )

Good idea for a video! But general concept is pick any exercise. Could even just be practicing the sport - fencing, basketball, anything. But when you plant the foot back, keep the heel high. Then also do progressive loading of single leg calf raise on slant board so it goes through a stretch under load. The real key is the plyometrics though. So the concepts above would apply to those movements.
@readywhen
@readywhen Жыл бұрын
Hear me out... this IS a strength issue: strong foot and calf muscles ensure that the deceleration of the heel is "completed" almost instantly when the foot comes in contact with the ground, so the heel has stopped dropping before starting the acceleration with the rest of the body. Maybe it's (also) a strength application/coordination & control issue, but strength forms the basis. Would you agree??
@sportsrehabexperts
@sportsrehabexperts Жыл бұрын
You are correct! Strength is a factor. You must have strength if you want to avoid possible injuries in awkward positions. However, as you mentioned the application of strength in a coordinated fashion I would say is JUST as important. Many athletes are strong enough to hold this position. But they are fed triple extension with heel down during their training all day long. As a result they lack eccentric quad/glute strength with the heel up (squats/lunges are always heel down). So the heel drops because that's what they are used to. Combine that with toed out and hyper pronation, you again have a application/coordination problem. Never one issue, always a combo. Just trying to bring more awareness around coordination

When I learned basketball as a kid, you either used an open step or a cross step. However, players like Manu Ginobili/Jordan have done it for years (drop step/negative step/load step) and never had major Achilles injuries. NBA trainers like Drew Hanlen teaches it too. Why do you think Manu they never got injured from doing that move? Luck?
@sportsrehabexperts
@sportsrehabexperts Жыл бұрын
The same concept applies to a negative step/drop step/plyo step (a lot of different names people call it)...Anyway when you take that step back to go forward you plant on the ball of the foot and however high the heel is when you plant, the main thing is the heel does not drop lower and the knee stays bent. Will you get it right every single time, no! But it becomes an exposure issue if you do it wrong over and over again. I know it is the case for Jordan, haven't watched enough Ginobili film to say. But when they drop step, the pressure is on ball of foot and on initial contact the heel does not drop further and knee stays bent as pressure is applied through ball of foot.

@@sportsrehabexperts ah, OK. I watched the video but not as closely as I thought. If the heel strikes the ground when performing the load step, then the move becomes problematic (gastroc is stretched I'm guessing). I'm in my 30s now and have only recently adopted the move so was kinda worried about out after seeing Durant and Smart get injured performing it.

I run 3-4 times a week and have had tendinitis in the past in my achilles but it’s been resolved for some time. This came as a nasty shock. I’m just not sure what to expect of my body now.

You don't need to fear movement, and you will never move perfectly all the time in any given scenario. That being said, there is better and worse ways to move given a specific task. You should not apply this concept to everything. There is nuance in movement. If you dont understand the nuance, then work with someone who does.. Summary of video, dont let your heel drop and knee extend when you plant the leg behind you.....Not that simple and more context is necessary, thats why you need to understand the video. If you don't understand it and need help I suggest a consultation.

Could pushing a sled in the gym be dangerous?
@sportsrehabexperts
@sportsrehabexperts 5 ай бұрын
Great question! But it depends....I love sleds! They are great to use if done correctly!! But I see people doing sloppy sled pushes all the time where they start on ball of foot and as they push forward their heel drops significantly and the knee straightens. Your heel should be lifting and the knee should be traveling forward when you push the sled. This is proper mechanics. If you can't keep proper mechanics or close to it, you need to lower weight or reduce speed. Side note, as this trend is very frustrating for me in the rehab space. People like to do these knee extension sled pushes after an ACL tear or knee injury to restore knee extension, but it goes against everything we are ever taught about gait and feeds into this heel down as you move forward problem. This is what I mean: kzfaq.infoE1h4HbLVJwI?feature=shared - do not do this, it is wrong! Will it cause a problem doing the exercise, no...Its low level, so you wont get hurt doing it.. But just because you can, doesnt mean you should! It is not teaching the correct mechanics like we discussed in this video.
