2Research Does virtual reality enhance pain modulation during
isometric exercise for Achilles tendinopathy (AT)?
Types of People over 18 years of age with symptoms of AT (localised pain on palpation &
volunteers activity) for a minimum of 8 weeks. Pain intensity >30/100 during single leg calf
raise exercises. Ability to independently read and understand study and
complete questionnaires in English.
Description The main aim of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of exercise on
Achilles tendinopathy pain. Past research has shown that exercises such as calf
raises have decreased Achilles tendinopathy pain over a long period of time (i.e.
12 weeks), however research is limited and conflicting regarding the immediate
response that exercise has on Achilles tendinopathy pain. In this study we will
be utilising exercise as a treatment in two different settings, and pain sensory
tests to help us quantify each participants' pain levels. There will also be a few
questionnaires for the successful participant to fill in on the day relating to their
pain experience, activity levels, etc. There will also be the option for participants
to participate in an additional component to this study which relates to pain
science. It involves a cold hand immersion bath that is temperature regulated to
8 degrees Celsius. If participants choose (and are eligible) for this portion of the
study, they will be asked to submerge their hand for up to 90s. During this time,
further sensory tests will be performed, and data will be collected.
What is A research investigator will contact you via the phone to determine eligibility (via
required and a series of questions) into the study. Successful participants will be asked to
how long will it attend 1x 2hr session on campus (GC). During the study the participant will
take? undertake a series of exercise protocols accompanied by pre and post sensory
tests to determine treatment effects.
Incentive $50 Coles/ Myer giftcard & an information pamphlet discussing the latest
evidence on managing Achilles tendinopathy
