Research summary
Tendinopathy is common and problematic if it does not resolve. We are interested to find out why it does not resolve, and what the predictors of recovery are. To achieve this, we will collect epidemiological data from a large number of participants then follow them up for one year to determine causal relationships between how people present and how they recover. At present, prediction of outcome is restricted to single or limited variables and no clinically relevant prediction models exist for these pathologies. To best inform the model, we will also collect data from participants with different problems in the same anatomical area. The main data collection will be questionnaires, with a questionnaire battery at the start and then brief monthly follow-ups. We will also collect come clinical and imaging data for a subset of people.
