Summary

Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a commonly used term for the clinical manifestation of patellar tendon pain and functional limitation with multifactorial etiology. It occurs in both athletes and general population in all age groups. It is often characterized as an overuse injury resulting from chronic failure of the healing response that is not strictly linked to inflammatory or degenerative processes.

Conditions

  • Patellar Tendinopathy

Interventions

DEVICE

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

The low-energy focused ESWT was applied using the BTL-6000 FSWT device with piezoelectric generator and a coupling pad which modulates penetration depth to 0-35 mm. The setting was chosen based on ISMST guidelines (https://shockwavether apy.org). Energy flux density varied between 0.14 and 0.18 mJ/ mm2 due to patient tolerance, frequency was set at 8 Hz. A total of 2000 shocks were applied semi-statically to the most defined pathological area in the patellar tendon followed by2000 shocks dynamically to the quadriceps muscle.
