Symptoms are pain at the front side of the knee, especially from bending the knee which means extra strain. How much pain will depend on the level of irritation or inflammation. This means that the pain could appear occasionally, permanently or acute.

Pain is caused by the tendon being overloaded, or from friction above the lower part of patella. Athletes with a high level of intensive training are more easily exposed to Jumper´s knee, but all kinds of endurance sports are in fact exposed. Increase of training over a short period of time could well trigger off a Jumper´s knee.

​

What you can do yourself:

• Find out what triggers the pain

• Adjust the amount of training and load which obviously trigger the pain

• Avoid one-sided load of the patella

• Avoid bad footwear and hard grounds
