Brief Summary:
Tendons located between muscle and bone transmit force from the former to the latter allowing joint movement They are composed mainly of collagen elastin and water and are divided into three zones osteotendinous junction tendon-bone myotendinous junction muscle-tendon and the tendon body
Knee tendinosis is a pathology that affects the tendons of this joint due to the breakdown of collagen in the tendon body characterised by pain during and after exercise inflammation and loss of function It is common in athletes especially in jumping sports such as basketball and volleyball due to repetitive strain injury or ageing Factors such as weight leg length and muscle strength can influence its development Radiologically patellar tendon thickening and abnormalities are seen
Treatment includes eccentric exercises shock wave therapy ultrasound-guided sclerosis anti-inflammatory drugs plasma injections and aprotinin Neurodynamic theory suggests that altered mechanosensitivity of the femoral nerve may contribute to knee pain and neurodynamic techniques can improve nerve mobility and reduce symptoms
A strength exercise with isometric contractions can decrease pain for up to 45 minutes being a therapeutic option for patellar tendinopathy without affecting muscle strength
The research project presented in the masters thesis aims to compare the effectiveness of femoral nerve mobilisation and therapeutic exercise in the treatment of knee tendinosis

Detailed Description:
Nowadays tendon injuries affect a large part of the population especially people who practice sports and the working population in industrial sectors although they have also been observed in sedentary people In terms of occupational diseases these injuries account for more than 35 in the most industrialised countries of the European Union
The indirect costs of tendinopathies can be significant in terms of lost productivity and workers compensation
Despite the lack of specific data on the economic impact of knee tendinosis on society given the high prevalence of this condition it is crucial to study its treatment to reduce recovery time and associated costs Both therapeutic exercise and femoral nerve mobilisation are supported by scientific evidence suggesting their efficacy in the treatment of knee tendinitis However it is important to specifically investigate and compare how these interventions affect symptoms and function in patients with this condition
Therapeutic exercise prevents injury and aids in the regeneration of the knee extensor system The goal is to restore adequate strength flexibility and endurance as well as to correct joint limitations
It has been studied that the success of treatment of tendinopathies may be determined by the adaptation of the exercise loads to the capacity of the tendons
