•1. Subjects with a Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Patella (VISA-P) questionnaire score of <80 out of 100
•2. History of patellar tendon pain related to training or competition
•3. Structural changes in the patellar tendon on grey-scale ultrasound and/or increased tendon vascular distribution on energy Doppler
•4. Significant tenderness on palpation near the end of the patellar tendon and pain limited to the inferior level of the patella
•5. Pain aggravated by squatting or jumping. Ultrasonography was performed by a 15-year-experienced sonographer and was positive for the presence of patellar tendon structural changes and/or hypoechoic changes and/or thickening of the patellar tendon (anterior-posterior diameter >6 mm) and/or increased intra-tendinous Doppler flow

•1. Duration of pain less than three months
•2. Acute knee or patellar tendon injury with a history of knee surgery in the past year
•3. Presence of inflammatory arthropathy with the use of potentially affecting patellar tendon medications (e.g., quinolones) in the past year
•4. Use of corticosteroids for topical injections in the past month
•5. History of past patellar tendon rupture
•6. Inability to perform an exercise program or participate in other treatment programs
•7. Inability to perform an exercise program or participate in other treatment programs, and other coexisting lesions identified by physical examination or ultrasound/MRI
•8. Exercise program, or participation in another treatment program, physical examination or ultrasound/MRI findings of other coexisting knee pathology
•9. Inability to undergo high-energy dose ultrasound therapy or indications that ultrasound is contraindicated such as (active tuberculosis, bleeding tendency, severe cardiac disease, malignant tumors, venous thrombosis, and pregnant women)
