Abstract

The Achilles tendon has been proposed to be for the dancer one of the most vulnerable parts of the body. Studies on Achilles tendinopathy in dancers are lacking. Therefore, in the present review, we present the best evidence in the field of diagnosis and management of patients with Achilles tendinopathy. To think that a dancer with this injury is different from other patients may lead to the use of different treatment modalities that are not scientifically proven, and this carries with it an un-quantifiable risk.
