A tendon is a cord of strong, flexible tissue, like a rope. Tendons connect muscles to bones or other structures, allowing for movement – bending, stretching and twisting.
Tendinitis is an inflammatory condition of tendons is usually due to an injury, over-stressing, overuse or repetitive movements.
The patellar tendon connects muscles at the front of your thigh to extend your knee so that you can kick, run and jump.
Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper’s knee, is an overuse injury of the tendon that help straighten the knee.
The condition is most common in players or athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — such as basketball and volleyball.
But it is also found in people who don’t participate in jumping sports, as it can develop over time without a specific injury.
Common Symptoms
- Pain usually between your kneecap and where the tendon attaches to your shinbone (tibia).
- The pain may interfere with daily movements such as climbing stairs or rising from a chair.
- Pain gets worse while bending, straightening the leg, or standing
- Pain when jumping, running, or even walking.
- Swelling or redness about the joint
- Tenderness
- A feeling of weakness at the knee.
Common Causes & Risk factors
- An injury, caused by repeated stress on your patellar tendon.
- Physical activity. Running and jumping are most associated with patellar tendinitis.
- Tight leg muscles and muscular imbalance.
- Being overweight – or a sudden increase in body weight.
- Knock-kneed, or having flat feet can place more stress on the patellar tendon.
- Certain chronic illnesses disrupt blood flow to the knee, which weakens the tendon e.g., kidney failure, autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
- Extremes of foot shape, like high arch or flat feet
- Inappropriate footwear.
- Exercising on hard surfaces.
