An Exercise-Based Precision Medicine Tool and Smartphone App for Managing Achilles Tendinopathy (the 'PhysViz' System): User-Centered Development Study

An Exercise-Based Precision Medicine Tool and Smartphone App for Managing Achilles Tendinopathy (the 'PhysViz' System): User-Centered Development Study

Therapeutic exercise using high-magnitude loading (ie, >70% of maximal voluntary contraction [MVC]) can elicit positive adaptation in healthy tendons [15,16]. The extent to which these findings transfer to tendinopathic tendons remains largely unknown [17]. An individualized dose of 70% MVC exercise is higher than what is typically used in AT rehabilitation [6,18-20], and clinicians such as physical therapists (PTs) may struggle to achieve both this load magnitude and precision in the clinic.
