What is Infrapatellar Tendon?
The infrapatellar tendon, also known as the patellar tendon, is located below the kneecap and connects the patella to the shinbone. It plays a key role in enabling extension of the knee joint and is important for activities like running and jumping. Injuries to the infrapatellar tendon can result in conditions like patellar tendonitis.
How does chemotherapy effect tendons?
Chemotherapy can weaken tendons by disrupting the normal cell division process, reducing collagen production, and leading to increased risk of injury and decreased healing capacity. It may cause tendonitis, tendon weakness, or even tendon rupture in some cases. Physical therapy and gentle stretching exercises can help maintain tendon strength and flexibility during chemotherapy treatment.
What are some common injuries that can affect the tendon in the back of the thigh?
Common injuries that can affect the tendon in the back of the thigh include hamstring strains, tendonitis, and tears. These injuries often occur during activities that involve sudden or excessive stretching of the hamstring muscles, such as running or jumping. Proper warm-up, stretching, and strengthening exercises can help prevent these injuries.
Do you wear a knee brace for tendonitis?
Knee braces can help with patella tendonitis or Ilitibail Band syndrome (ITBS) If its patella tendonitis you have (inflammation of the tendon just below the kneecap) then a single patella strap can work really well. It puts pressure through the tendon and supports the kneecap which reduces the forces and friction through the tendon. If it's ITBS - irritation of the iliotibial band on the outer side of the knee, a double knee strap can work well as it puts pressure through the ITB, again reducing friction. You may also find that doing strengthening and stretching exercises helps aswell
Did I sprain my ankle or is it Achilles Tendonitis?
Your ankle could be sprained. Achilles Tendonitis occurs when your tendon has become irritated and inflamed. This may happen for many reasons. If you have tendonitis the area of your Achilles tendon would be tender, be painful to move, and/or swollen.

What does tendonitis effect?
Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons. Tendonitis most commonly occurs with repetitive motion or strain on a specific tendon. For example: Tennis Elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, occurs more commonly in Tennis players because of the repetitive movement and strain on the lateral tendon over the bony prominence called the lateral epicondyle. As the tendon, which controls the extensor muscles of the forearm and wrist, moves over the bony prominence, irritation develops as the synovial sheath surrounding the tendon wears away resulting in tenosynovitis, as the wearing continues, the tendon itself becomes irritated and micro tears occur in the fibrous tendon resulting in inflammation of the tendon which is called tendonitis. It is difficult to differentiate between tenosynovitis and tendonitis, thus inflammation of the tendon at any stage is usually referred to as tendonitis. Bursitis can be commonly mistaken for tendonitis. Underneath the tendons is a fluid-filled sac called bursa, as the tendon rubs across the bursa, irritation and inflammation develop into bursitis. Bursitis is normally diagnosed by palpation of the bursa by pushing underneath the affected tendon. If the palpation causes pain, bursitis, if palpation of the tendon causes pain, tendonitis. Pain without stiffness or pain on stretching is normally associated with bursitis also.
