This lecture reviews and connects developments different areas of the published research: in the areas of Anatomy, Cellular Mechanotransduction, Connective Tissue (Histology, Innervation, differentiation, plasticity), Tendinopathy, Tendon Repair, Neural plasticity and Bioplasticity.
These developments have implications for clinical practice, research, education and health promotion.
This research was discussed as it informs common Treatment and Rehabilitation techniques (Exercise Therapy, Acupuncture, Manual Therapy, Low Level Laser, Biomechanics). Future directions in research were discussed.
The slides are intended as support for those who were at the lecture, as they contain little information alone.
An Aim of this lecture is to stimulate interest in the key publications and online resources in this clinical area, listed in a connected file on Slideshare.
79. To Conclude
Understanding research findings
and its limitations, and remembering
what is known to be uncertain allows
clinicians to
wisely inform
clinical
practice
Archimedes…Give me a solid place to stand…
To solidly clinically reason
Give advice
Educate Students
Plan Research….
We need solid place, Knowledge
To balance this need for certainty…

Tendon tissue provides an example of cell–cell communication. (A) The intact tendon consists of extracellular matrix (including collagen) and specialised tendon cells (arrowheads).
Tendon tissue provides an example of cell–cell communication. (B) Tendon with collagen removed to reveal the interconnecting cell network. Cells are physically in contact throughout the tendon, facilitating cell–cell communication. Gap junctions are the specialised regions where cells connect and communicate small charged particles. They can be identified by their specific protein connexin 43.
Tendon tissue provides an example of cell–cell communication. (C–E) Time course of cell–cell communication from (C) beginning, through (D) the midpoint to (E) the end. The signalling proteins for this step include calcium (red spheres) and inositol triphosphate (IP3).
Mechanical loading stimulates protein synthesis at the cellular level. (A) A larger scale image of the tendon cell network for orientation. We focus on one very small region. (B) Zooming in on this region reveals the cell membrane, the integrin proteins that bridge the intracellular and extra-cellular regions, and the cytoskeleton, which functions to maintain cell integrity and distribute mechanical load. The cell nucleus and the DNA are also illustrated. (C) With movement (shearing is illustrated), the integrin proteins activate at least two distinct pathways. (D) One involves the cytoskeleton that is in direct physical communication with the nucleus (ie, tugging the cytoskeleton sends a physical signal to the cell nucleus). Another pathway is triggered by integrins activating a series of biochemical signalling agents which are illustrated schematically. After a series of intermediate steps those biochemical signals also influence gene expression in the nucleus. (E). Once the cell nucleus receives the appropriate signals, normal cellular processes are engaged. mRNA is transcribed and shuttled to the endoplasmic reticulum in the cell cytoplasm, where it is translated into protein. The protein is secreted and incorporated into extracellular matrix. (F) In sum, the mechanical stimulus on the outside of the cell promotes intracellular processes leading to matrix remodelling.
If We want to understand the Effect on the Cells, We need to revise the cell structure
Needle rotation (B) causes winding
fibroblasts further away
from the needle respond by changing shape, becoming large and
‘‘sheet-like’’ in marked contrasts with the small cell bodies and long
branching processes (‘‘dendritic’’ morphology) seen without needle
rotation (A). After needle rotation, a new tension equilibrium is
achieved between actomyosin-driven intracellular tension (intracellular
white arrows) and two types of opposing forces: extracellular
matrix counter-tensional forces (extracellular black arrows) and
intracellular compressive forces provided by the expanded cytoskeleton
(intracellular black arrows). Gray dots represent focal contacts.
