Athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT) have postural stability deficits; however, the underlying mechanisms and factors responsible remain unknown. The effect on in PT of decreased quadriceps strength, altered proprioception, lower-limb muscle tightness, knee pain, which explain deficiency other populations, is uninvestigated.
