Autoregulation of resistance exercise therapy in the management of tendinopathy
Tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal condition that patients present to physiotherapy with.
Research Opportunities
Summary
This PhD will lead on from evidence synthesis work conducted at RGU that identified the need to create approaches that increase the mechanical loading experienced during unsupervised resistance exercise sessions.
The candidate will assess the acceptability and feasibility of autoregulation practices including the use of velocity-based measurements and ratings of perceived exertion to adjust the mechanical load experienced by tendinopathic groups.
The effectiveness of suitable practices will then be established in a prospective trial.
