Some of the sports are connected with jumping (e.g. basketball, volleyball, long jump or triple jump). “Jumper’s knee”, also known as patellar tendonitis or patellar tendinopathy, is an inflammation or injury of the patellar tendon, the cord-like tissue that joins the patella (kneecap) to the tibia (shin bone). Jumper’s knee is an overuse injury, when repeated movements cause tissue damage or irritation in shin bone area. The patients feel pain in the anterior knee, especially while jumping. The condition doesn’t occur not only in jumping but everybody can suffer from this in every sport activity.

Treatment of the patellar tendonitis bases on off-loading of the patella tendon and exercises. What’s more, this non-operative treatment has better results than surgery¹..

In order to this, we created our patella strap AS-P/RZ with silicone insert for dampening vibration
