The insertion tendinitis of the proximal part of the patellar tendon frequently occurs in weight-lifters. In a prospective non-randomized study soft-laserlight (helium/neon-laser, wave length: 632.8 nm, power: 5 mW) was applicated on standardized acupuncture points on 21 knee joints of 15 performance athletes. Pain reduction during sports activity was obtained in 85.7% after the end of therapy and in 81 % in a three months follow-up. Local tenderness improved in 57.1 %. Key words: patellar tendinitis, jumper's knee, soft laser, laser acupuncture, weight-lifting.
