Efficacy of Inertial Flywheel vs Heavy Slow Resistance Training Among Athletes With Patellar Tendinopathy

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2020

42 participants

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to investigate the efficacy of Inertial Flywheel Resistance program vs Heavy slow resistance in patients with chronic patellar tendinopathy.

The investigators hypothesize that Inertial Flywheel Resistance program will yield a more positive clinical outcome and function in patients with patellar tendinopathy compared to heavy slow resistance group.

Conditions: Patellar Tendinitis, Jumper's Knee.

Primary outcome: Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment (VISA-P questionnaire).

Enrollment: 42 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 42 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
