Jumpers knee? Buy a knee brace?
With a Jumpers knee you have problems with your patellar tendon that runs over your knee joint. This patellar tendon runs from the shin to the kneecap. The patella (kneecap) is woven into this patellar tendon and it may become inflamed. This is called a tendonitis. It is also possible that the patellar tendon has deteriorated. This is called a tendinosis. In this way a so-called Jumpers knee is created. The Jumpers knee usually develops for no apparent reason, this is called idiopathic.
