Tiivistelmä
The aim of the thesis was to create a booklet for athletes based on a systematized literature review. The purpose was to gather applicable methods from the literature to prevent overuse knee injuries in male basketball athletes (17-35yo). Thesis will be done for BC Sisu men’s basketball team from Pori.
Evidence was gathered through search of risk factors for patellar tendinopathy and patellofemoral pain syndrome. Majority of the evidence is less than 10 years old and from multiple sources. Due to authors interest a systematized literature review was conducted within 10-year publications from Pubmed. The booklet was based on both Systematized literature review and the theory framework of the thesis.
The result was based on documented risk factors of the conditions, primary & secondary prevention programs such as FIFA 11+ program. The exercise program is a synthesis of the results mimicking the format of the FIFA 11+ program. Current evidence in injury prevention is limited especially for basketball athletes. Another difficulty for prevention is the occurrence of prevalence studies in recent years. Studies conclude that the prevalence of true patellar tendinopathy is much less than suggested previously by athletes, coaches, and clinicians. However, systematized search about basketball players and overuse injuries typically involves mainly patellar tendinopathy.
The main extrinsic risk factor which came up through many different sources is rapid loading or loading over the tissue capacity. Especially for basketball athletes it is important to look at the demand of the sport and increase the physical capacity of the athletes.
