Abstract
The Achilles tendon, the most powerful tendon in the human body that carries and transmits the body’s load, is formed by the joint of the gastrocnemius and soleus tendons and attached to the calcaneal tuberosity (Fig. 11.1) [1, 2]. Achilles tendinopathy may be associated with exercise overload, repeated accumulation of chronic fatigue injury, resulting in chronic damage to Achilles tendon fibers [3].
