Foot Extensor Tendinopathy (Top-of-Foot Tendon Pain)

A one-page care plan for patients with Foot Extensor Tendinopathy (Top-of-Foot Tendon Pain), covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.

In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I know these tendons link muscles to bone. They help lift my foot and toes as I walk.
    • I know extra walking, running uphill, tight shoes, or a past injury can strain these tendons.
    • I know repeated overload can keep pain going. A sudden injury can also tear a tendon.
    • I wear shoes that fit well. I loosen or adjust laces that press on the sore top of my foot.
