Tendinous Tissue Adaptation to Explosive- vs. Sustained-Contraction Strength Training [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The effect of different strength training regimes, and in particular training utilizing brief explosive contractions, on tendinous tissue properties is poorly understood. This study compared the efficacy of 12 weeks of knee extensor explosive-contraction

Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds [PDF]

, 2014
The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles.

Sonographic evaluation of patellar tendon displacement and its correlation with patellofemoral pain syndrome

Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Patellofemoral pain syndrome is the most common knee condition and is associated with patellar maltracking. Ultrasound is used in studying patellar maltracking.

Biomechanical Analysis of Patellar Tendon Repair With Knotless Suture Anchor Tape Versus Transosseous Suture

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020
Background: Patellar tendon ruptures have routinely been repaired with transosseous suture tunnels. The use of knotless suture anchors for repair has been suggested as an alternative.

Patellar Tendon Force Differs Depending on Jump-Landing Tasks and Estimation Methods

Applied Sciences, 2022
Patellar tendinopathy is a chronic overuse injury of the patellar tendon which is prevalent in jump-landing activities. Sports activities can require jumping not only with a vertical component but also in a forward direction.

Patellar Tendon Imbrication Is a Safe and Efficacious Technique to Shorten the Patellar Tendon in Patients With Patella Alta

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020
Background: Patella alta has been noted to be a risk factor for recurrent patellar instability. Purpose: We conducted a radiographic study to determine whether a patellar tendon imbrication technique normalizes patellar height as well as whether the ...

Ultrasound Characterization of Patellar Tendon in Non-Elite Sport Players with Painful Patellar Tendinopathy: Absolute Values or Relative Ratios? A Pilot Study

Diagnostics, 2020
Imaging findings in patellar tendinopathy are questioned. The aim of this pilot study was to characterize ultrasound measures, by calculating ultrasound ratio and neovascularization of the patellar tendon in non-elite sport players with unilateral ...
