About us

The patellar tendinopathy toolkit emerged as a project with the aim to overcome some barriers faced by physiotherapists to implement evidence-based practice, and to optimize their professional training to manage patients with patellar tendinopathy.

All content presented on this website is evidence-based and was developed by a group of researchers, with input from health professionals, patients with patellar tendinopathy and stakeholders.

The information on this website is not intended to replace physiotherapy or medical consultation.
