Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Tendinopathy is a commonly seen disease in sports injury. CiteSpace software was invented by Professor Chaomei Chen from Drexel University using JAVA for visualization analysis of literature. It is characterized by co-occurrence network and co-citation networks of literature, and predicting and analyzing the research frontier and developing tendency of the field.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current research situation, research focus and frontier in the past decade by bibliometric, co-citation, co-occurrence and visual analysis of the literatures on tendinopathy, so as to provide new ideas and directions for tendinopathy-related scientific research and clinical practice.
METHODS: Based on the articles related to tendonitis searched in Web of Science database, country, institute, author, journal, category, literature and key words were analyzed by CiteSpaceV software, and the related visual maps were drawn.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The research on tendonitis is on the rise in general. Europe, America and Australia play a central role in this field, mainly universities, including several cooperative groups headed by Professors Maffulli N, Cook J and Alfredson H. included in specialist journals such as orthopedics and sports medicine, involving a wide range of disciplines, intersecting and intersecting, including orthopedics, sports science, surgery, rehabilitation and other disciplines. Biotherapy, rehabilitation treatment and the mechanisms of action and pathogenesis are hotspots and research trend.
