简要总结
The purpose of this study is:
- To examine the effect of infra patellar strap treatment on the extent of pain and jumping performance tasks in young male athletes diagnosed with patellar tendinopathy.
- 40 elite male athletes, basketball and volleyball players, ages 14-18, students of the academy for sports Excellency will take part in this study
- Hypothesis 1: The treatment of infra patellar strap will reduce the level of pain during jumping performance tasks.
- Hypothesis 2: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the squat jump height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during squat jump task.
- Hypothesis 3: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the drop jump height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during drop jump task.
- Hypothesis 4: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the one leg jump height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during one leg jump task.
- Hypothesis 5: The treatment of infra patellar strap will improve the 30 seconds repetitive jumps mean height in athletes with patellar tendinopathy during 30 seconds repetitive jumps task.
详细描述
Introduction: Patellar tendinopathy (Jumper's knee) is a condition usually characterized by localized pain and tenderness of the patellar tendon at its origin on the inferior pole of the patella.
Patellar tendinopathy is an over use injury which implies on a mismatch between stress on a given tissue and the ability of that tissue to withstand the stress. Rapid repetitive actions of acceleration, deceleration, jumping and landing place great stress on the extensor mechanism and the patellar tendon.
Current prevalence reported of patellar tendinopathy is up to 20% among elite athletes from a range of sports, with higher proportions in professional basketball (32%) and volleyball (45%) players.
The common treatment for patellar tendinopathy is preventative or conservative (physical therapy).
Infra patellar straps are used in treatment to reduce anterior knee pain from a variety of sources including patellar tendinopathy, patellar subluxation, patellar femoral syndrome, Osgood-Schlatter disease and more.
