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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether holding a long, steady leg exercise (isometric) can help treat patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) in weightlifters. It aims to see if this type of strengthening can reduce pain and improve function without needing surgery.
This study looks at how knee movement during rehabilitation exercises relates to pain in people with kneecap pain (patellofemoral pain syndrome). It aims to help understand better ways to recover.
This trial tests whether a quick ultrasound treatment to the patellar tendon (the tendon just below your kneecap) can improve your jump performance. It is for healthy young adults who have no knee problems.
This trial tests whether taking collagen plus vitamin C can improve “jumper’s knee” pain in active teens and young adults. It compares a supplement plan to see if symptoms and sports ability improve over time.
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.
