简要总结
Achilles tendinopathy is the injury that primarily occurs in athletes and people who engage in repetitive activities that involve the calf muscles, such as running, jumping, and sudden acceleration and deceleration movements. To observe the effectiveness of dry needling in the PGM of the gastrocnemius muscle, in the short and medium term, on the intensity of pain in gastrocnemius muscle, in the short and medium term, on pain intensity in patients with patients with Achilles tendinopathy, compared to the application of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis on the tendon.
