Movement patterns in athletes with jumper's knee
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) move compared to healthy athletes. It uses special motion tracking to identify differences that could help understand and manage this common knee pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are male.
- You do jumping sports or activities at least twice a week for the past year.
- You have no major leg surgeries or serious leg injuries (like a torn ligament) in the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether special jumping and strength tests (called ballistic tests) can help guide recovery after ACL surgery. It compares the results of these tests to your usual knee function to find the best way to return to sports safely.
This study tests a specific long-hold static (isometric) exercise for the knee tendon common in weightlifters, to see if it helps reduce pain and improve tendon health. It lasts 24 weeks with regular check-ups.
This trial tests whether a supplement called HMB, combined with a structured rehab program, helps athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) recover and return to sport. The study aims to see if adding the supplement improves outcomes compared to rehab alone.
This study tests whether applying ultrasound to the patellar tendon (the tendon just below the kneecap) can quickly change how high you can jump. It may help understand if this treatment can improve muscle function.
This study tests whether adding jumping exercises early helps people with long-lasting leg tendon pain recover faster.
This trial tests if extracorporeal shock wave therapy (a non-surgical treatment using sound waves) can help athletes with patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee. It is for people who have had pain in the patellar tendon for at least 6 months and are active in jumping sports.
