This study systematically reviewed the existing literature to identify critique and summarise lower limb biomechanical factors associated with Achilles tendinopathy. Methods We searched electronic bibliographic databases Medline EMBASE Current contents CINAHL and SPORTDiscus in November 2010. All prospective cohort and case-control studies that evaluated biomechanical factors temporospatial parameters lower limb kinematics dynamic plantar pressures kinetics ground reaction forces and joint moments and muscle activity associated with mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy were included. Quality of included studies was evaluated using the Quality Index. The magnitude of differences effect sizes between cases and controls was calculated using Cohen s d with 95 CIs . Results Nine studies were identified two were prospective and the remaining seven case-control study designs. The quality of 9 identified studies was varied with Quality Index scores ranging from 4 to 15 out of 17. All studies analysed running biomechanics. Cases displayed increased eversion range of motion of the rearfoot d and in two studies reduced maximum lower leg abduction d reduced ankle joint dorsiflexion velocity d and reduced knee flexion during gait d . Cases also .
