Methods: a sample of 143 individuals was recruited and divided in two groups: chronic non-insertional AT group (n = 71) and a healthy group (n = 72). The thickness and CSA were assessment by USI for EDL, TA and PER muscles in both groups. Results: The thickness evaluation for the TA muscle increased showing statistically significant differences (P = 0.018) as well as for the thickness of the PER muscles significant differences (P = 0.001) were observed in favor the tendinopathy group. The CSA measurements showed statistically significant differences for a decrease in EDL (P = 0.000), TA (P = 0.001) and PER muscles (P = 0.011) for the tendinopathy group with respect to the control group. Conclusions: The CSA of the EDL, TA and PER muscles is reduced in participants with chronic non-insertional AT. The thickness for TA muscle is increased as well as a decrease of PER muscles thickness is presented for the AT group with respect to the control group.
