Tendons connect muscle to bone and help move joints. Tendinopathy is an injury to the tendon. These injuries tend to occur in tendons near joints such as knee, shoulder, and ankle. The injuries can include:
- Tendinitis—an inflammation of the tendon. Although this term is used often, most cases of tendinopathy are not associated with significant inflammation.
- Tendinosis—microtears (tiny breaks) in the tendon tissue with no significant inflammation.
The following tendons are often involved:
- Achilles —back of heel
- Rotator cuff in the shoulder
- Biceps in the shoulder
- Wrist extensors near the elbow, on the outside
- Wrist flexors near the elbow, on the inside
- Patellar tendon , which is attached to the kneecap
Tendinopathy and the associated pain may take months to resolve. You may need medication for pain relief.
Tendinopathy is caused by overuse of a muscle-tendon unit. The strain on the tendon causes very tiny tears that accumulate over time. These tears cause pain and can eventually change the structure of the tendon.
Overuse can be the result of doing any activity too much, such as:
- Sport activities
- Physical labor, especially those with repetitive motions
- Housework
Risk Factors
Tendinopathy is more common in women than in men. Factors that may increase your chance of getting tendinopathy include:
- Muscle imbalance
- Decreased flexibility
- Overweight
- Advancing age
- Alignment abnormalities of the leg
Symptoms may include:
- Pain, particularly with activity
- Decreased motion of related joints
- Local swelling
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
If your symptoms are severe your doctor may need some images of the tendon and bone. Imaging tests may include:
Treatment depends on:
- Severity of symptoms
- The tendon involved
- Length of time symptoms have lasted
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options may include:
- Avoiding the activity that is responsible
- Reduce shock vibration on the joint
- Rest for the affected tendon
- Ice after activity
- Cast or splint for immobilization of the affected area
- Counterforce brace over the painful tendon
- Shoe orthotics for foot alignment problems
Your doctor or physical therapist may recommend exercises or a rehabilitation program.
To manage pain or swelling, your doctor may recommend:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs)
- Prescription pain relievers
- Topical pain relievers, such as creams or patches that are applied directly to the skin
A medication call cortisone may be used. It can be injected into the sheath around the tendon.
To prevent tendinopathy:
- Gradually work yourself into shape for a new activity.
- Gradually increase the length of time and intensity of activities.
- If you have a tendon that has been a problem, gradually stretch out that muscle/tendon unit.
- Strengthen the muscle to which the tendon is attached.
- If you have pain, do not ignore it. Early treatment can prevent the problem from becoming serious.
- Learn to back off from activities if you are tired or not used to the activity.
- Warm-up the affected area before activity.

Your Choice of Floor Tool Vacdepot's floor tool selection is numerous. There are floor tools of many types from many manufacturers for most every floor surface used in the home. While many floor tools can clean many floor surfaces, some floor tools offer better cleaning on specific floor types. Floor tool performance also varies depending on the debris that you collect most often. Some floor tools excel at removing pet hair where others may work better for fine dust and others that work best for heavy soils like grit and sand. The Multi-Floor tool set allows you to pick the floor cleaning nozzle that works best for your floors and your cleaning needs.
The selection includes straight floor brushes, quick clean brushless nozzles and multi-surface combo cleaning tools that switch between hard floors and rugs. Each floor tool option is listed in the Detail Review tab to help you choose the cleaning nozzle that will work best for your home. All of the floor tool options are designed to work perfectly with the CVA155-FLV's hose, wand and other cleaning accessories for a complete straight suction cleaning system.
Deluxe Switched Low-Voltage Swivel Grip Hose The low-volt hose of the CVA155-FLV is a premium quality Plastiflex manufactured hose with helpful cleaning features and a larger interior diameter for excellent airflow. The Plastiflex low-volt hose gives you unsurpassed airflow and flexibility with an oversized 1 3/8" ID hose body. The larger diameter adds more room for the air to move through the hose while cleaning with less resistance providing you the best airwattage from your power unit, an estimated 15% increase in performance as compared to 1.25" hoses.
The lightweight low-voltage hose is made by the worlds leading hose manufacturer, Plastiflex, with a soft molded ElectraFlex hose body. The Plastiflex hose is very flexible and can make sharp turns without cutting off the suction. The handgrip is an ergonomic "Gas-Pump Grip" design and features a simple to use low-volt thumb switch. The handle design also features a 360° swivel to reduce strain on both user and hose.
The full swivel Gas-Pump keeps you tangle free while moving about room-to-room and the finger-tip switch gives you complete control over the vacuum power unit. With a simple flip of the switch the power unit can be activated from the end of the hose. With a low-volt hose you need not return to the valve to activate or shut down your power unit. The tool end of the hose grip has a long wearing metal friction fit stub wand built-in which provides a rigid connection for tools and wands along with a variable suction control slider to lessen suction when cleaning delicate surfaces such as drapes.
The wall cuff provides wide dual connection points on the contact ring to provide a high level of reliability and compatibility with nearly all wall-valves on the market. The wall end is fully repairable if needed and provides a positive fit in the valve. The CVA155-FLV's hose wall end is a standard 1.5" fitting and fits nearly every valve we have tried it in with the exception of older Kenmore & Budd brand 1.25" wall valves, and the proprietary VACUFLO automatic style inlets. If you have the older Kenmore/Budd valve or Vacuflo Automatic give us a call for a special adapted version of any Vacdepot attachment kit.
Cleaning Above The Floor & Beyond Most dust and debris often settles to the floor however some will collect in places above the floor. To clean above the floor you need special tools made for these surfaces. The CVA155-FLV includes a quality three piece above the floor set of cleaning tools including dusting brush, upholstery tool and crevice tool. All three components are the Deluxe series from Eco-Pro cleaning tools.
If you use your vacuum to clean above the floor or for other utility work, a dusting brush is often the tool you will use. The Eco-Pro dusting brush is unique and addresses many of the problems of regular round dusting brushes. With an oblong shape the tool can reach many areas, particularly corners, where round tools can not clean. The flattened head also aids in getting the tool into tight spots where a round brush may just be too big across. The bristle set is the best natural fill that is dense and heavy. Long and flexible enough to provide the proper dusting action the bristles are held into the nozzle body with a shoe that is clamped onto the bristle and formed into the nozzle's shape. The dusting brush will make quick work of book shelves, fan blades and window sills.
The deluxe vinyl upholstery tool included in the CVA155-FLV is 6" (152mm) wide with a scalloped bottom plate insert and a grooming brush. The shoe design insures continuous air-flow without the need for a suction reducer, eliminating "seal off". The brush strip gently engages upholstery to lift debris and groom surfaces. The brush also helps to remove hair, pet fur, lint and other clingy soils that suction alone will not remove. The soft outer cover will not mar light colored furniture or scratch soft surfaces and the friction fitting connector will allow use directly at the end of the hose or with any wand extension.
Our unique crevice tool is 13" (330mm) long with flat profile and slots for those "hard-to-reach" corners and crevices where dust and debris can hide. Slots provide additional airflow along the cleaning surface underneath furniture and cabinets. Made of textured ABS plastic the crevice tool is strong enough to take abuse but also just a bit flexible to keep it from breaking. Realizing long ago that crevice tools are used often, and often abused, the crevice tool was redesigned to stand up to rigorous use. The extra length of the crevice nozzle, a full 13 inches, helps you to continue jamming, pushing and prying the crevice tool wherever you need to clean.
Aluminum Telescopic Cleaning Wand No more Stooping. No more Twisting. No more Hassle. To further complement the CVA155-FLV's lightweight design we include a telescopic wand made of aluminum that is less than half the weight of conventional steel wands, only 10 ounces, comparable to plastic weight with 10 times the strength. The new telescopic wand has a black finish and adjusts fully from 24 inches to 38 inches in 1 inch increments. The latching mechanism is a finger operated stepped lock ratchet. This design is easy to use and lock into the desired height allowing the tool to be resized on the fly for the user. The latching system is internally sealed from the dirt control tube for improved air-flow. Both the tool end and hose end of the wand are friction fitting for easy on, easy off performance. Imagine cleaning stairs with a compressed wand that does not require you to hold your arm up to vacuum - less fatigue and much safer.
Cleaning overhead is also easier due to the lower weight of the telescopic aluminum wand and your reach can be extended even farther with the addition of two utility wands. Also included in the CVA155-FLV kit and made of lightweight ABS for utility cleaning, each wand is 18" in length and features a standard friction fit to inter-operate with every other attachment in the kit. You can add the two utility wands together with the telescopic aluminum wand and easily clean the crown molding in a room with 12-foot ceilings. The black ABS utility wands can be used in any combination directly on the hose grip to give you just the right reach for cleaning your car, sofa or under the refrigerator with the extra long crevice tool.
Hose & Attachment Storage To keep your tools in reach while you clean floors, the CVA155-FLV includes the wand mount tool caddie to keep your three above the floor tools on hand, ready for use. The wand caddie snaps onto the telescopic aluminum wand and provides three connectors to store the dust brush, crevice tool and upholstery nozzle. If you prefer, the wand caddie can also attach to the ABS utility wand instead. Having your basic 3 in reach at all times can increase efficiency and give you the opportunity to do detail cleaning when needed.
To keep all of your tools neat and tidy storage is provided via a mesh storage bag with carry straps. The perfect place to store all of your tools including above floor nozzles and floor cleaning nozzles. With plenty of room for wands and tools the storage bag keeps everything together when not in use so tools do not become lost or chew toys for the dog. The mesh storage features a strong nylon handle at the top so the bag can hang on a hook in your storage closet, over the included hose hanger or you can hang the loop over a coat hanger and store the tools on a closet rod. The mesh design allows you to see at a glance which tools are stored. Easy to transport, the mesh storage bag is an easy way to move all your tools to the area being cleaned, instead of walking back and forth to your storage closet to retrieve one tool at a time.
A single loop hose hanger provides convenient hose storage. Made of polycarbonate and matched to the CVA155-FLV attachment kit, the hose hanger provides plenty of space to keep your hose coiled up off the floor, preventing damage. Easy to mount to any wall with screws or wall anchors, the hose hanger provides plenty of space for the hose, even when wrapped tightly in many shorter loops. Keeping your hose coiled and off the floor will greatly extend its cleaning life and help to keep it flexible for many years. The single loop design also provides a great place to hang your mesh tool bag as well.
Providing for "off the floor" storage the CVA155-FLV attachment kit also includes a wall mount wand holder. These unique devices mount directly to the wall with included screws or wall anchors and feature a flexing, pivoting rubber strap. To store the telescopic wand and floor tool, just push the wand into the rubber strap and it locks into place supporting the full weight of wand and nozzle, hanging on the wall and out of the way.
From the oversized Plastiflex 30 foot, 1 3/8" low volt hose to the floor tool of your choice, and the 10 other tools & accessories and storage components included, the Aspria CVA155-FLV Multi Floor central vacuum attachment kit has everything you need to clean any home of any size with hard floors and more. A perfect fit for those who do not want or do not need a powered electric brush for carpet cleaning but still desire the convenience of central vacuuming. The CVA155-FLV is a custom solution for central vacuum systems including tools that are perfectly matched to their task and to each other.
Also available from Aspria custom CVS attachment sets is the CV2600-LVT Zoom Power Turbo kit. A close cousin to the CVA155-FLV, the Zoom Power Turbo adds additional tools and the industry's most powerful turbo-brush (HP TurboCat Zoom EX) for cleaning large area rugs, areas of lightly used carpeting or homes with rugs and pets.

From cyber-bullying that could threaten your teen's self-esteem, to dangerous distractions that could cause you to crash while driving your kids, here's a look at five important studies about the health of children being presented this week at a large pediatric conference in Washington.
1. Moms and dads are distracted while driving kids
Researchers asked 600 parents what distractions they encountered while driving their most precious cargo: Their children. Among the interruptions: Talking on the phone, texting, surfing the Internet, checking a navigation system, and changing a CD or DVD.
Almost 90% of parents admitted to doing at least one of these technology-based distractions.
"These distracted drivers were more likely to have been in a crash," noted the study's lead author, Dr. Michelle Macy, a specialist in pediatric emergency medicine at the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
2. Teen drivers are distracted, too
In another study, researchers reviewed a survey of 7,833 high schoolers. During the past 30 days, almost half had texted or emailed while driving.
Laws banning texting didn't seem to stop the behavior all that much. In states where texting was illegal, 39% of teens still sent messages, compared to 44% of teens in states without restrictions.
"The reality is that millions of teens text while driving," said Dr. Andrew Adesman, the study's senior investigator, who specializes in the behavior of kids at Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York.
3. Teenage cyber-bullying hurts a lot of kids
Another of Adesman's studies looked at how texting and other electronic means of communicating are empowering high school bullies. Researchers reviewed a survey of more than 15,000 high school students.
One in six acknowledged getting bullied electronically in the last year. More girls reported being attacked than boys.
"We must recognize that these new technologies carry with them the potential to traumatize youth in new and different ways," Adesman said.
4. High school athletes hide concussions
In this study, researchers asked 120 high school football players in Cincinnati whether they'd let a concussion sideline them.
The football players were well aware of the symptoms - headache, dizziness, difficulty remembering, sensitivity to light and sound, difficulty concentrating, feeling in a fog - but only half said they'd fess up and report a potential concussion to their coach.
A small percentage even said "athletes have a responsibility to play in important games with a concussion," according to the study's co-author, Dr. Brit Anderson, who specializes in pediatric emergency medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
"It is possible that concussion education alone may not be enough to promote safe concussion behaviors in high school football players," Anderson said.
5. Doctors aren't following guidelines to treat preschoolers with ADHD
For preschoolers with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder the initial recommended treatment is behavior therapy---not medication.
But this new study finds 1 in 5 specialists---neurologists, psychiatrists, developmental pediatricians---are using medication as part of the initial treatment, either alone or along with the recommended behavior therapy. Researchers heard from 611 specialists to reach their conclusion.
"It is unclear why so many physicians who specialize in the management of ADHD...fail to comply with recently published treatment guidelines," said Adesman, who was also involved in this new research.
Adesman says parents should know that, generally, using medication as the first treatment for their preschooler's ADHD isn't recommended.

Ultimate Short Sleeve Crew Tee

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 34
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lovestorun My favorite running shirt
I love these Adidas shirts. They are very comfortable with soft, moisture wicking fabric. The fit is perfect and flattering, fitted and a little on the long side. I love how the shirt is a little long so it does not ride up while running, and stays in place even while running with a hydration vest or camelback. These shirts are so cute I not only wear them for running, but for everyday as well. I like them so much I have four different colors and will probably buy a couple more. Highly recommend!
May 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cuteworkoutgirl Kinda basic
I got an XL and it's a lot bigger than I expected. The fabric is very soft and seems like a great workout shirt, but it's not the silky/athletic top feel I expected. It feels very cotton-y and basic. But it's thin enough to be breezy so I think it will be great workout top for a while.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by zenithjenni Great Tee
Length is perfect. I coach gymnastics and it's long enough for me to raise my arms, spot and move equipment without my middle showing. I am 5 feet tall and ordered a small.
January 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Pekingesefan Very Comfy
I love this shirt...it is soft and comfy. The shirt sits below the hips and because of that the shirt does not ride up. The length and fit is great!

This shirt is amazing. It's so light and comfortable!!! Fits great! So happy with it I have the shirt in 6 different colors.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ajamom My New Favorite Tee
I love everything about this tee! It is the perfect weight to wear alone or for layering. Bought my first two on a clearance rack at an outlet store but have ordered more in other colors. I wear them for running, tennis and indoor workouts. I usually am between a S and M in tops. I needed a medium in this tee. Washes well and never looks wrinkled.
January 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ashly Very Soft
This top is great. I have a bunch of tank tops that are the same material from Adidas. The only thing I will say is it is a little long. I'm 5'6" about 140lbs. I had to tuck the back part of the shirt into my running shorts b/c it felt like it was catching on my legs while I ran. Even though I say that, I will probably order another one b/c I love the way the material feels and the style is flattering as well.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by LURunner Comfy crusing
This shirt is so comfortable. I ordered the maroon shirt and it really is a pinkish color shirt so the color is a little off from the one showed on the site, but I still love it! Fits well, very soft and moves with me as I'm working out.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ddaisydoo A perfect shirt
I liked this shirt so much I bought two more. It is lightweight, comfortable, and non- binding even under the arms. I wear them to spin class four times a week and they never droop at the neck as so many shirts do after working up a sweat. Just so comfortable for exercise and keeps its shape after washing.
February 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by dula Not sure what to think, I know I like the feel and of the shirt, it serves it purpose. BUT I've only wore the shirts once and washed them...the seem on BOTH is falling apart..... guess I'm going to the other brand.... gave them a try though.

Providing a base for the application of cosmetics, foundations are helpful in creating longer-lasting effects that avoid the need to reapply your makeup throughout the day. Every woman can enjoy the benefits of foundations that provide flawless coverage along with a better surface for makeup application.
Your foundation should be thinly applied to avoid caking and unnecessary creasing of your cosmetic products. Choose a shade that matches your skin as closely as possible so that it blends well and looks natural. Foundations are available in a wide variety of styles including powders, liquids, liquid-to-powder, cream-to-powder, and sticks.
Improving the appearance of the complexion, many skin friendly foundations also encourage better health many ways. Anti-aging foundations containing essential vitamins protect against many of the signs associated with premature aging, while flawlessly evening out your countenance prior to applying other cosmetic products. Some foundations are available with SPF protection, safeguarding your skin against the damage caused by too much exposure to the sun's harsh rays.
Offering a good start for a beautiful finish, foundations can promote a natural look, and even offer translucency, avoiding a heavy appearance. Due to their nature, foundations made with pressed mineral powder offer exceptional color tolerance, enabling them to act as concealers and powders, as well as foundations.

Iran claims success in firing new missiles during naval war exercises
Exercises part of maneuver designed to 'display the country's capabilities in defending its maritime borders'
The Iranian military says it has successfully test-fired a number of advanced missiles and air defense systems during coastal defense exercises near the strategic oil passageway of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian government press reports said its navy launched anti-ship "Qader" cruise missiles and a new "optimized" version of a long-range surface-to-surface missile, called the "Nour" missile. Both models are made in Iran, according to the reports.
The exercises are part of what Iran says is a six-day naval maneuver that started on December 28 and is designed to, "display the country's capabilities in defending its maritime borders."
The country also touted the testing of its indigenously made air defense system called Ra'd, translated as "Thunder," with surface-to-air missiles. The country says it's designed to target fighter jets and cruise missiles as well as helicopters and drones flying as high as 75,000 feet. The new Ra'd system was first paraded out in Tehran last September during a military celebration.
The Iranians said the exercise is one in a number of drills the country holds to "enhance the defensive capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment."
Military analyst Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based policy analysis organization, says the tests didn't dramatically advance Iran's weapons technology. But it sends a warning to other nations in the region that could one day offer assistance to any U.S. or Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
"In the short term they may actually like the idea of telling us they can escalate, to make us think of this as not just a pinprick surgical strike but the beginning of a war. And they may feel they can intimidate certain participant countries into rethinking whether it's the United States or one of the Gulf states like Qatar, or UAE or Kuwait," O'Hanlon said.
According to the U.S. Navy, one of its aircraft carriers, the USS Stennis, is inside the Persian Gulf close to the Strait of Hormuz, at a port call in the United Arab Emirates.
A spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department said the Pentagon was aware of the exercises and was monitoring them, but would not comment on the specifics of the missiles the Iranian press highlighted.
The exercises come at a time when the United States and the international community is putting increased pressure on Iran as the country continues to push its nuclear program. Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most strategic waterways in the world for oil exports, if sanctions against it continue.
Both the U.S. and Israel have not ruled out a military strike on an Iranian nuclear facility that they claim is part of a weapons program, but Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
