Ultrasound on knee tendon and jump performance
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a mild electrical current to a nerve in the groin area can improve thigh muscle strength in athletes with long-standing jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy). The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce pain and improve function.
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.
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.
This trial tests whether a treatment called ultrasound-guided electrolysis therapy can reduce pain and improve tendon health in people with patellar tendinopathy (knee tendon pain). It compares the real treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to see if it works better.
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.
