Continued Activity During Rehabilitation in Patients With Patellar Tendinopathy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Patellar Tendinopathy, Patellar Tendinitis, Patellar Tendon Pain, Patellar Tendinosis, Jumper's Knee

In brief

This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility of pain-guided activity modification during rehabilitation for patellar tendinopathy. The information provided will be utilized to conduct a larger randomized clinical trial to determine if there is a difference in recovery from patellar tendinopathy during rehabilitation between individuals that use pain-guided activity modification and those that halt all painful activities. Recovery from patellar tendinopathy will be assessed using pain ratings, tendon-specific outcome measures, tendon structure, tendon mechanical properties, and muscle function.
