Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine differences in lower extremity landing biomechanics and real-world physical activity between individuals with patellar tendinopathy compared to individuals without patellar tendinopathy,and to determine the acute effects of an isometric loading intervention on lower extremity landing biomechanics in individuals with patellar tendinopathy.
