In cases of patellar tendinitis the quadriceps muscle is the muscle that is likely to experience tension.

The aim of providing treatment is to reduce pain, swelling, increase joint range of motion, and return to sports activities. Measurements were carried out using midline, Visual Analogue Scale, goniometer, and Manual Muscle Testing. After treatment for 3 weeks, significant results were obtained in reducing pain, swelling, increasing joint range of motion, and being able to return to active living (ADL).
