What is jumpers knee?

The patella tendon (or ligament as it is sometimes called) connects the kneecap to tibia bone. Under extreme stresses such as those involved in jumping a partial rupture can occur. This can often lead to inflammation and degeneration of the tissue. Inflammation can also result from overuse. Injury to this often affects athletes involved in jumping or throwing sports. Weight lifters, Tennis and Badminton players can also be affected. Rest in the early stages is important

What are the symptoms?

Pain at the bottom of the kneecap especially when pressing in.
Aching and stiffness after exertion.
Pain when you contract the quadriceps muscles.

Grade 1: Pain only after training

Continue training but apply ice or cold therapy to the injury after each training session.
Wear a heat retainer or support.
See a sports injury specialist / therapist who can apply sports massage techniques and advise on rehabilitation. An eccentric strengthening programme is generally recommended

Grade 2: Pain before and after exercise but pain reduces once warmed up.

Modify training activities to reduce the load on the tendon. Stop jumping or sprinting activities and replace them with steady running or swimming / running in water if necessary.
See a sports injury specialist / therapist who can apply sports massage techniques and advise on rehabilitation.
Grade 3: Pain during activity which prevents you from training / performing at your best.

Rest completely from the aggravating activity. Replace it with swimming / running in water (if pain allows).
See a sports injury specialist / therapist who can apply sports massage techniques and advise on rehabilitation.

Sports massage can be effective for chronic tendinitis.

Which strengthening techniques have been shown to stimulate healing of Jumpers Knee?

Grade 4: Pain during every day activities which may or may not be getting worse.
Rest for a long period of time (at least 3 months!).
See a sports injury specialist / therapist who can apply sports massage techniques and advise on rehabilitation.
If the knee does not respond to rehabilitation then consult an Orthopaedic Surgeon as surgery may be required.

A Sports Injury Specialist or Doctor could:

Prescribe anti-inflammatory medication e.g. ibuprofen.
Use ultrasound or laser treatment.
Use cross friction massage techniques.
Prescribe and supervise a full rehabilitation programme.
A Surgeon can operate.

??? Robin can win 1st Round vs Dent, then vs Nalbandian....David is playing so much at the moment, maybe he is tired and Robin nearly won the 1st set last week vs him. So everything is possible!

Canuck_Chick · 10-29-2004, 08:20 PM

Good luck Robin

hope the knee is OK

Chris-swede · 10-29-2004, 08:28 PM

He has not withdrawn so far, so i really think, he is ready to play. Bad stories at the moment, Norman retiring from Tennis. Söderling has a wounded knee, Pimpim had to retire against Ryderstedt....not so good news!

Aleksa's Laydee · 11-01-2004, 10:38 AM

Robin beat Taylor dent 6-2 6-4 he was on FIRE he seems ok now

Onto round 2 in paris
