Article Abstract
Patellar tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by progressive activity-related anterior knee pain and patellar tendon dysfunction. It is highly prevalent in sports which involve running and jumping. Various treatment methods are used in the management of PT including rest, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, injection therapies, taping, eccentric exercises, extra corporeal shock wave therapy, percutaneous electrolysis, and surgery. Even though various treatment options are available for patellar tendinopathy, no single method has proven to result in a consistent and near complete recovery in patients. Conservative management is considered to be the first line of treatment. This study presents an overview of the current practice about the management of patellar tendinopathy with an emphasis on rehabilitation. This review can act as a guide to sports medicine and rehabilitation professionals' decision making in the management of this disorder.
