🦵🏼Anterior Knee pain
Here is a patient example:
The patient (16 yrs) had undergone a growth spurt and had bilateral anterior knee pain. Imaging showed no major abnormalities (except for mild irritation of the patellar tendon bilaterally). One knee was more painful than the other – here the examination also showed: a slight weakness in the lateral comparison of the quadriceps strength measurement and pain in the attachment area of the tendon (below the kneecap).
Here you can see a few exercises from her individual training program:
1️⃣ Formore coordination / learn to keep the knee stable during exercises:
- “Step Over” straight
- “Step Over” oblique
2️⃣ For muscle building:
- Box Squats
- Hyperextensions with a focus on hamstrings (leg curls didn’t feel good in the knee, so we started with knees unmoving during hamstrings exercises).
