Tendinopathy remains one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal pathologies and, at the same time, one of the most clinically heterogeneous.

The clinical interview is a fundamental skill in the training of physiotherapy students, as it allows them to obtain diagnostic information and establish an appropriate therapeutic relationship.

Locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury depends on the interaction between residual descending commands, peripheral afferent input, the excitability of spinal circuits, and activity-dependent plasticity. In this context, neuromodulation strategies applied to gait training aim to optimize the functional state of spinal networks, facilitate motor activation, and enhance the effects of specific locomotor training (1,2) ...
