TREATMENT FOR PATELLAR TENDINOPATHY IN NEW FRIENDS COLONY- PHYSIONAUTICS
Patellar tendinopathy, often
referred to as “jumper’s knee,” is a common overuse injury affecting the
patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia).
Pathophysiology of Patellar
Tendinopathy
The pathophysiology of patellar
tendinopathy involves degenerative changes in the tendon rather than
inflammatory processes. The condition is characterized by collagen
degeneration, disorganization of collagen fibers, and an increase in ground
substance within the tendon. These changes can lead to decreased tensile
strength and increased susceptibility to injury. Factors contributing to this
condition include excessive training loads, improper biomechanics, muscle
imbalances, and inadequate recovery.
Symptoms of Patellar
Tendinopathy
Individuals with patellar
tendinopathy typically experience:
- Pain
at the inferior pole of the patella
- Swelling
or thickening of the tendon
- Stiffness
after periods of inactivity
- Pain
during activities that involve jumping or squatting
- Tenderness
when pressing on the affected area
