Article Synopsis
- The study is a retrospective analysis focused on treating jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy) in elite athletes through a specific exercise protocol.
- It involved six high-level jumping athletes completing a 36-month strength program combining eccentric, isometric, concentric exercises, and electrostimulation, assessing pain levels using a visual analogue scale (VAS).
- Results indicated a significant reduction in pain during tendon loading activities at various follow-up points (18, 24, and 48 months), suggesting the protocol's effectiveness for athletes suffering from chronic painful jumper's knee.
Objectives: The quality of epidemiological injury data depends on the reliability of reporting to an injury surveillance system. Ascertaining whether all physicians/physiotherapists report the same information for the same injury case is of major interest to determine data validity. The aim of this study was therefore to analyse the data collection reliability through the analysis of the interrater reliability.
