  • Conservative treatments for patellar tendinopathy [Elektronski vir] : a review of recent high-quality evidence
    Čobec, Jerneja ; Kozinc, Žiga
    Patellar tendinopathy is a common injury characterized by progressive activity-related anterior knee pain. It is highly prevalent in sports which involve jumping and changing direction. The aim of ... this paper is to review recent high-quality evidence regarding the effectiveness of physical therapy in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. Randomized controlled trials (n = 22) researching the effects of exercise therapy, physical agents, and soft tissue techniques were included. The results show that exercise therapy is the most effective. While eccentric exercise is commonly used, very promising progressive tendon-loading exercise therapy programs are recently emerging. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy, dry needling, and orthoses are no more effective than eccentric exercises or placebo groups. Isometric and isotonic exercise, patellar strap, sports tape, and kinesiotaping have a short-term effect on functional improvement and pain reduction, while progressive tendon-loading exercise, dry needling, platelet-rich plasma, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy have long-term effects.
