Tendon: Tendon disorders can be classified based on the anatomy of the tendon and its surrounding tissues: tenosynovitis, stenosing tensoynovitis,peritendinitis and tendinosis (Viikari-Juntura 1994). The term tendonitis is often used to refer to chronic tendonitis which is associated with repeated loading and is believed to be due to microtears in the tendon. Tendonitis is the deterioration of a tendon from repetitive motion. Animal studies on overuse of tendons have demonstrated an increase in cellularity and collagen disorganization, and an increase in tendon cross-sectional area and a decrease in tissue stiffness (Carpenter et al.1998).
