Know What's New With Patellar Tendinopathy Treatment
Clinical Pearls:
- Progressive Tendon Loading Exercises are more effective than Isolated Eccentric Loading Exercises to treat Patellar Tendinopathy
- Patellar tendon loading peak, impulse and rate should be considered at different phases of rehabilitation
- Low Step Up exercise places the least amount of load on the patellar tendon (see chart)
- Single Leg Decline Squats place the highest amount of load on the patellar tendon (see chart)
- PRP injections should be considered an effective treatment for Patellar Tendinopathy if conservative measures fail
Monitor Impact in Real-World Running with Wearable Tech
Clinical Pearls:
- Overstriding increases impact on runners
- Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) accurately identify overstriding
- Using IMUs on the thigh and tibial shank are most effective to calculate overstriding
- IMUs from Noraxon’s myoMOTION and Movella’s DOT reliably monitor overstriding
