dc.description | Patellar tendinitis, or "jumper's knee," is an inflammation of the patellar tendon that connects the kneecap to the tibia, commonly found in athletes who perform repetitive jumping or impact movements. It manifests as pain in the front of the knee, especially when bending it or performing activities like running, jumping, or climbing stairs, accompanied by tenderness, swelling, and stiffness. The main causes include overuse of the tendon, muscle imbalances, poor biomechanics, inadequate warm-up, and improper training surfaces. Risk factors include improper jumping technique, sudden increases in training load, muscle weakness, and pre-existing conditions such as leg length discrepancy or joint hypermobility. Patellar tendinitis presents in different stages depending on the progression of the injury: before exercise, with stiffness and general discomfort in the knee; after exercise, with increased pain and swelling due to repetitive stress on the tendon; and in chronic pain, where the pain persists even at rest, affecting functionality. Physiotherapy intervention includes muscle strengthening, stretching, manual therapy, and the use of physical modalities such as ultrasound or electrotherapy, along with modifications in the patient's activities, helping to reduce pain, recover functionality, and prevent recurrences. | es_ES |

dc.description.abstract | La tendinitis rotuliana, o "rodilla del saltador", es una inflamación del tendón rotuliano que conecta la rótula con la tibia, frecuente en deportistas que realizan movimientos repetitivos de salto o impacto. Se manifiesta con dolor en la parte anterior de la rodilla, especialmente al flexionarla o al realizar actividades como correr, saltar o subir escaleras, acompañado de sensibilidad, inflamación y rigidez. Sus principales causas incluyen el sobreuso del tendón, desequilibrios musculares, biomecánica deficiente, falta de calentamiento adecuado y superficies de entrenamiento inadecuadas. Los factores de riesgo incluyen una técnica de salto incorrecta, aumento abrupto en la carga de entrenamiento, debilidad muscular y condiciones preexistentes como dismetría de las piernas o hipermovilidad articular. La tendinitis rotuliana se presenta en diferentes estadios según la progresión de la lesión: antes de realizar ejercicios, con rigidez y malestar general en la rodilla; después de realizar ejercicios, con aumento de dolor e inflamación por el estrés repetido sobre el tendón; y en el dolor crónico, donde el dolor persiste incluso en reposo, afectando la funcionalidad. La intervención fisioterapéutica incluye agentes físicos, reducir el edema, aliviar el dolor, terapias manuales, ejercicios y fortalecimiento, permitiendo reducir el dolor, recuperar la funcionalidad y prevenir recaídas. | es_ES |
