Jumpers Knee Injury
Jumpers Knee is the common term for Patella Tendonitis. Jumpers Knee occurs gradually if jumping and landing type activities are practised too much, because the strain on the Patella Tendon becomes too great and microscopic damage develops in the tissue that makes up the tendon. Patella Tendinopathy is usually characterised by degeneration of the tendon, whereas Patella Tendonitis is characterised by inflammation of the patella tendon, which is much more rare. Many people find that a Patella Tendon strap can be helpful to relieve the symptoms of Jumpers Knee.
Jumpers Knee injury signs & symptoms:
- Knee pain that comes on gradually below the knee cap.
- Knee pain is worsened by activity.
- Patella tendon is painful to touch.
- Patella Tendon feels very stiff first thing in the morning.
