Study Notes

Common Injury Conditions and Therapeutic Interventions

Patellar Tendinopathy:

Overuse of the patellar tendon causes patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper’s knee.
Eccentric training coupled with symptomatic treatment is a promising therapy.
It is a degenerative condition that weakens the tendon’s fibers.
Dorsal paratenon has sympathetic innervation and blood supply, which makes it suitable for PRT.
Symptoms include patellar tendon pain, tenderness, and increased pain with activity.
Differential diagnoses include Osgood-Schlatter disease and Tibial plateau stress fracture.
Clinician interventions include identifying the root cause, MRI or bone scan, PRT with thermal ultrasound or laser, and strengthening exercises.
Patient self-treatment includes daily self-release and PNF stretch of the patellar tendon.

Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome:

Lateral leg and knee pain is associated with iliotibial band friction syndrome.
Evidence points to a compression mechanism at the lateral femoral condyle.
Intrinsic factors such as overpronation and weak hip abductors are not shown to increase the prevalence or risk of this syndrome.
Treatment involves tender and trigger point therapy along the course of the iliotibial band.
Symptoms include pain with ambulation, tenderness, and weak hip rotators and abductors.
Differential diagnoses include stress fracture and patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Clinician interventions include identifying the root cause, MRI or bone scan, PRT with diathermy or thermal ultrasound, and strengthening exercises.
Patient self-treatment includes PNF stretch and self-massage of the iliotibial band and posterior hip musculature.
