Source sentences:
text: This phase occurs if the Achilles tendon continues to be loaded excessively during the reactive phase.
text: The patient starts in a single-leg standing position with the weight on the forefoot and the ankle in full plantar flexion (involved leg only tip-toe on a step); the Achilles tendon is then eccentrically loaded by slowly lowering the heel to a dorsi-flexed position (forefoot on step and heel below); the patient then returns to the starting position using the arms and other leg to avoid concentric loading (both feet tip-toe on step).
