Is proprioception diminished in patients with patellar tendinopathy?

Highlights • We tested proprioception in recreational athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT) and healthy controls. • Threshold to detect passive motion (TTDPM) was used as measure for proprioception. • No difference in TTDPM was found between recreational PT athletes and healthy controls. • In rec...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We tested proprioception in recreational athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT) and healthy controls. • Threshold to detect passive motion (TTDPM) was used as measure for proprioception. • No difference in TTDPM was found between recreational PT athletes and healthy controls. • In recreational PT athletes, mean TTDPM was 0.02° higher in the injured knee. • Proprioception did not differ between recreational PT athletes and healthy controls.
