Results presented across all tendinopathies combined.
Large effect outcomes: Effect sizes obtained from outcomes measuring: (1) Disability; (2) Pain on loading/activity; (3) Pain without further specification; (4) Function; and (5) Pain over a specified time. Small effect outcomes: Effect sizes obtained from outcomes measuring: (1) Quality of Life and (2) Physical functional capacity.
CrI, credible interval; VPC, variance partition coefficient.
