• Mechanical and material tendon properties in patients with proximal patellar tendinopathy 

      Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Rieder, Florian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Introduction: The effect of chronic patellar tendinopathy on tissue function and integrity is currently unclear and underinvestigated. The aim of this cohort comparison was to examine morphological, material, and mechanical ...
    • Whole body vibration for chronic patellar tendinopathy: A randomized equivalence trial 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Herfert, Jürgen; Lampl, Katrin; Hecht, Stefan; Niebauer, Josef; Maffulli, Nicola; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Purpose: Whole body vibration (WBV) triggers anabolic responses in various tissues, including tendons, without requiring high force production. In this waitlist-controlled equivalence trial, we tested its clinical effectiveness ...
