A Machine Learning Approach for the Objective Sonographic Assessment of Patellar Tendinopathy in Collegiate Basketball Athletes
Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a knee injury resulting in pain localized to the patellar tendon. One main factor that causes PT is repetitive overloading of the tendon. Because of this mechanism, PT is commonly seen in "jumping sports" like basketball. This injury can severely impact a player's …

The prevalence of patellar tendinopathy in elite academy rugby players: a role for measuring ground reaction forces?
… physiotherapists suggest that the prevalence of patellar tendinopathy (PT) in rugby populations is increasing. However, from a review of the published literature patellar tendinopathy is not a<br/>condition commonly reported in rugby athletes. PT can have serious consequences for an athlete, …

Quantitative Texture Analysis and Automated Segmentation of Patellar Tendon Sonographic Images on Collegiate Athletes
Patellar tendinopathy, a common cause of anterior knee pain, is primarily due to degenerative changes in the patellar tendon resulting from repetitive stress. While the tendon itself is the primary focus, damage can also manifest in surrounding tissues, such as the subcutaneous tissue and the fat …

Quantitative Texture and Blob Analyses on Patellar Tendon Sonographic Images of Collegiate Basketball Athletes
Patellar Tendinopathy (PT), commonly called "Jumper's Knee", is a condition resulting from repetitive loading of the patellar tendon that presents as anterior knee pain, which is commonly seen in basketball players due to the maneuvers in the sport. Diagnosis of PT often involves a clinical exam …

Effects of Mechanical Damage on Patellar Tendon Ultrasound Texture Parameters
The patellar tendon assists in crucial daily motion of the knee such as knee extension. Partial tears or ruptures of this tendon have a prevalence of ~14% in elite athletes and 8.5% in nonelite athletes. Patellar tendon ruptures, caused by high demand tensile loading, often occur in tendons with …
