Takeaways

Rodrigo Scatone specializes in sports physical therapy and patellar tendinopathy.
Dorsiflexion restriction can lead to increased knee stress and patellar tendon issues.
Landing mechanics significantly affect patellar tendon load during activities.
Rehabilitation should focus on the entire kinetic chain, not just the affected tendon.
Calf strengthening is crucial for offloading the patellar tendon during rehab.
Electrical stimulation can enhance quad activation and reduce pain during rehab.
Long-duration isometrics may not be suitable for all patients due to pain responses.
BFR training is controversial for lower limb rehabilitation due to potential tendon strain imbalances.
The quadriceps tendon may require different loading strategies compared to the patellar tendon.
Young athletes with Osgood Schlatter's should avoid excessive stretching and focus on load management.
