Study Notes
Rehabilitation Guidelines for Patellar Tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy is characterized by localized pain at the inferior pole of the patella.
- The condition is caused by the intensity, frequency, and volume of patellar tendon loading exceeding the body's capacity to recover and adapt.
- Inflammation and degeneration are not the primary drivers of the condition, so rest and ice are not the main treatments.
- The goal of rehabilitation is to find a "goldilocks" level of loading that keeps symptoms tolerable during and after activity.
- Exercise is a key component of rehabilitation, with progressions made over three or more months to improve function and tolerance.
- There are various exercises that can be performed, including squat variations, split squats, step downs, and single-leg knee extensions.
- The speed of each repetition should be slow, with a focus on consistency and gradual progressions.
- Isometrics and resistance training are part of stage two, which also includes jumping, landing, and plyometric exercises.
- The emphasis in stage two is on execution and loading the knee extensor mechanism.
- Surgery, injections, and other adjunct treatments are not well-supported by research and may not be effective in treating patellar tendinopathy.
- Foam rolling, massage, and icing can be tried as low-cost, low-risk options, but they are not the focus of rehabilitation.
- Patellar tendinopathy requires time, patience, consistency, and dedication to a structured rehabilitation plan for long-term improvement.
