Z Contents of this page: Inflammed achilles tendon Alternative names Return to top Tendinitis of the heel Definition Return to top Achilles tendinitis is inflammation, irritation, and swelling of the Achilles tendon (the tendon that connects the muscles of the calf to the heel). Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top There are two large muscles in the calf, the gastrocnemius and soleus. These muscles generate the power for pushing off with the foot or going up on the toes. The large Achilles tendon connects these muscles to the heel. These are important muscles for walking. This tendon can become inflamed, most commonly as a result of overuse or arthritis, although inflammation can also be associated with trauma and infection. Tendinitis due to overuse is most common in younger individuals and can occur in walkers, runners, or other athletes, especially in sports like basketball that involve jumping. Jumping places a large amount of stress on the Achilles tendon. Tendinitis from arthritis is more common in the middle aged and elderly population. Arthritis often causes extra bony growths around joints, and if this occurs around the heel where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone, the tendon can become inflamed and painful.
Treating Leg Injuries In Lame Horses Common leg injuries in the horse including tendonitis, bucked shins and carpal tunnel syndrome, plus treatment options. http://www.leg-injuries-in-horses.com
Extractions: Horse Health Older Horse Care Your Equine Vet Horse Leg Injuries ... Site Map A horse's legs, particularly the forelegs, are by far the most common sites for injuries. With each stride, the horse's front legs take the brunt of the concussive forces of his hooves hitting the ground. This can result in both soft tissue injury and bone fractures. Many leg injuries occur when horses are trained too hard, too fast or on a hard surface. Rapid, hard training doesn't allow time for the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons to adjust to the additional stress. Injury can also occur when the horse has poor conformation, is worked on an uneven surface, is bandaged too tightly or lacks balanced trimming and proper shoeing. The articles in this section address some of the common injuries that cause lameness in horses. These are typically seen in the lower half of the forelimbs, and range from tendonitis to fractures of the shin bone. Each includes details on symptoms and common therapies used to treat and manage the injury and an anatomical diagram of the area affected. Follow the links in the menu to the right to read about leg injuries in horses.

McKesson Clinical Reference Systems: Sports Medicine Advisor 2002.1 Rehabilitation Exercises Patellar tendonitis, also called jumper's knee, is inflammation in the band of tissue (the patellar tendon) that connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). The most common activity causing patellar tendonitis is too much jumping. Other repeated activities such as running, walking, or bicycling may lead to patellar tendonitis. All of these activities put repeated stress on the patellar tendon, causing it to be inflamed. Patellar tendonitis can also happen to people who have problems with the way their hips, legs, knees, or feet are aligned. This alignment problem can result from having wide hips, being knock-kneed, or having feet with arches that collapse when you walk or run, a condition called over-pronation.
