Innovative Physiotherapy Approaches in Managing Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee): An Updated Literature Review

JURNAL PROFESIONAL FISIOTERAPI | 2024 | Herista Novia Widanti, Widi Arti

Introduction: Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) is an overuse injury that usually has a gradual onset of pain. This condition is common in jumping athletes, characterized by local pain at the attachment of the proximal tendon to the bone and dysfunction of the patellar tendon during jumping and landing. Patellar tendinopathy clinically results from high loads on the tendon,...

Patellar ligament desmopathy in the horse – a review and comparison to human patellar tendinopathy (‘Jumper’s knee’)

Comparative Exercise Physiology | 2023 | L. Wright, E. Hernlund, C.T. Fjordbakk, B. Ytrehus

Patellar ligament desmopathy in horses is regarded as an uncommon condition with unclear aetiology. Of the three patellar ligaments in the horse, the intermediate is the one most often diagnosed with desmopathy in horses presenting with chronic lameness. This structure corresponds to the patellar tendon in humans. As diagnostic imaging modalities continuously improve, changes i...
