#patellartendon

Well, it’s official I tore my patella tendon. Luckily it’s a partial tear and not a full rupture but it has still consumed my every waking thought since I found out 🤪 - I’ve been babying my knee for weeks now trying to get it to heal. It wasn’t getting any better so I ended up asking my doc for an MRI. Yep it’s torn… explains why it wasn’t getting better. 😕 - This is the knee I’ve already had 4 surgeries on so to say I’m frustrated is an understatement 🤪 - My current treatment options are: Surgery or I can try something called PRP injections ( plasma rich platelets ). This is where they take your own blood, spin it in the little machine thing ( I’m so scientific ) and then take the plasma and inject it into the tendon. It is not guaranteed to work, but it is a less invasive option that could help me avoid surgery #5. - On top of researching this treatment option, I’ve had to really shift my mindset because training is the thing that grounds me and is like the one thing in my life I have control over. - I won’t be giving up and will still be doing everything I can in the meantime. I was hoping to one day compete in classic physique but it looks like I will be staying in mens physique for now. - Plan from here: Keep pushing myself to bring a better physique than I did the last time. I still got my upper body to bring up and I refuse to quit. - In the meantime if you have any personal experience with PRP injections I would love to hear your about your experience! - This ain’t a dead end, just a detour! Keep going! 💪 - #fitness #kneeinjury #patellartendonitis #patellartendon #patellatear #patellartendinopathy #kneesurgery #orthopedics #fitness #bodybuilding #mensphysique #keepgoing #determined https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLrsoivByy/?utm_medium=tumblr

In this video, researchers delve into the intricacies of patellar tendon rehabilitation, shedding light on the often overlooked aspect of precise load application. They introduce a novel loading index incorporating peak load, loading impulse, and loading rate to guide clinicians in optimizing tendon loading during rehabilitation. By bridging theory and practice, this study equips healthcare professionals with evidence-based strategies to enhance treatment outcomes for patellar tendon injuries, offering a valuable resource for refining clinical decision-making in this domain.

Uncover the connection between trunk flexion, hip extensors, and forces on the patellar tendon during jump landings. In this insightful session, we explore how these biomechanical factors can influence the stress placed on the patellar tendon. Whether you're an athlete, trainer, or involved in jumping activities, this session offers valuable insights and strategies to optimize landing mechanics and reduce patellar tendon strain effectively.
