Abstract
Patellar tendinopathy is a common degenerative condition. Previous research has shown that patellar tendon characteristics are related to patellar tendinopathy and may be leveraged to identify the condition. However, the relationship between structural changes in the patellar tendon and clinical as well as biomechanical have not been established. Understanding these relationships may lead to the development of better rehabilitation and treatment paradigms. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to quantify the relationships between tendon anthropometrics assessed via diagnostic ultrasound and factors such as patient-reported outcomes, joint alignment, flexibility, and isokinetic strength. Currently data has been obtained from 50 female athletes from division 1 volleyball, soccer, and basketball teams. We will conduct a correlational analysis to assess the relationship between tendon anthropometrics and modifiable risk factors for patellar tendinopathy.
