Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Summary

Patellar tendinopathy, or jumper's knee, commonly affects athletes. Eccentric exercise is the recommended first-line treatment due to strong evidence, with other therapies considered for persistent cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Physical Therapy

Context:

  • Patellar tendinopathy, commonly known as jumper's knee, is prevalent in athletes participating in sports involving jumping and cutting movements.
  • Despite various described treatment methods, an optimal treatment consensus remains elusive.

Purpose:

  • To review current literature on patellar tendinopathy treatments.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for managing jumper's knee.

Summary:

  • Eccentric exercise-based physical therapy is strongly supported by scientific evidence and should be the initial treatment approach.
  • Shockwave therapy and injections show potential but require further randomized controlled study validation.
  • Operative management is reserved for patients with recalcitrant cases unresponsive to conservative options.
