Overview

Brief Summary

In this case-control study, two- and three-dimensional landing biomechanics, by means of lower limb joint angles and moments (opto-electronic system with synchronised force plate), will be compared between 30 male volleyball/basketball players with a history of patellar tendinopathy and 30 healthy controls.
