True

90
Q

True

91
Q

What is a tendinopathy?

A

Non rupture in the tendon or peritendon (aggregated by mechanical load)

A

False, it is the adiposity of body weight that is the issue

96
Q

Why is adiposity a risk factor for tendinopathy?

A

Excessive intake of cholesterol results in accumulation of oxidized LDL in the load-bearing region of the tendon where it may impair type 1 collagen production (increase type 3 which isn’t strong enough to withstand forces) and reduce tendon strength and energy storing capacity

True

102
Q

If corticosteroids are used as a treatment for tendon injury, what should be done?

A

Teeth

121
