Summary
This study adapts a questionnaire called TENDINS-A into Spanish to better measure the severity of Achilles tendinopathy. About 100 Spanish-speaking adults with Achilles pain will fill out the questionnaire and repeat it after 48 hours. The goal is to ensure the tool is reliable and valid for use in Spanish-speaking populations.
