Clinical Trial Summary

This work is designed as a prospective cohort study, in which the effects of low-energy focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in patients with Patellar tendinopathy (AT) will be monitored on its micromorphology. It is estimated that at least 20 patients will participate. In addition, there will be a small control group of healthy tendons which will be monitored to observe magnitude of natural changes.


Clinical Trial Description

This work is designed as a prospective cohort study, in which the effects of low-energy focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in patients with Patellar tendinopathy (AT) will be monitored on its micromorphology. It is estimated that at least 20 patients will participate. In addition, there will be a small control group of healthy tendons which will be monitored to observe magnitude of natural changes. The research within one patient will last a total of 16 weeks from the initial to the final examination. Potential participants will be selected based on the recommendation of a specialist doctor and their suitability will be assessed according to the inclusion criteria. They will then be invited to an initial examination. This will include an objective examination by a physiotherapist, a subjective assessment by the patient and an ultrasonographic (USG) examination followed by a micromorphological analysis using special software. ;
