Key Words	Achilles tendon; Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles; Validity; Patient reported outcome measurement
Core Tip	This manuscript shows the validity and reliabilty of the VISA-A in patients with achilles tendinopathy. The most important finding is the athletes and non-athletes cannot be compared. The effect of treatment, when using the VISA-A score to measure outcome, is underestimated in non-athletes. If applied to non-athletes, using a modified score (questions 1-6) should be considered.
