Torque visuomotor feedback training versus standard eccentric exercise for the management of patellar tendinopathy: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patellar tendinopathy (PT) rehabilitation programmes frequently incorporate eccentric exercise (EE), where participants have limited control over the range of motion, speed, force production and load. Newly developed training protocols that employ visual feedback with specialised devices offer controlled management of loads, speeds and forces across the full range of motion, potentially providing greater benefits.

Objective

This protocol outlines a randomised controlled trial designed to compare the effects of a visuomotor torque feedback (TF) protocol with a traditional EE protocol on the rehabilitation of PT over a 6-week period. Our primary objective is to evaluate whether the TF protocol reduces pain and disability more effectively than the EE protocol in in
