Patella Tendonitis / Jumper's Knee / Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Although not exactly identical, these syndromes all feature pain and tenderness over the patellar ligament and/or either end. Plus, most pain is noticed while lowering into a squat or descending stairs. Physical agents and modalities are used to limit pain and irritation. Then, appropriate stretching and strengthening exercises are used to restore functional ability.
