TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Effect of Radial Shock Wave versus Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Patellar Tendinopathy in Athletes
Official scientific title Effect of Radial Shock Wave versus Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Patellar Tendinopathy in Athletes
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Patellar Tendinopathy is an overuse injury of the knee extensor mechanism due to repetitive mechanical stress from athletic activities requiring movements such as jumping, landing, acceleration, deceleration, and cutting. Micro-tearing of the knee extensor tendons can arise after constant repetition of these movements during a single exercise session or if there is insufficient rest between sessions. there is a wide range of people suffer from Patellar tendinopathy due to overuse of the patellar tendon The study will be done to answer the following question: Which is more effective in management of patellar tendinopathy, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization or radial shock wave?
