Conditions

Chronic Knee Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Vertical Jump Test

  The Vertical Jump test is designed to measure an athlete's lower body strength

  4 weeks

• Hop Test

  In this test, the aim is to jump as far as possible on a single leg, without losing balance and landing firmly.

  4 weeks

• Y Balance Test

  This is a portion of the Functional Movement Systems screen used to evaluate dynamic balance and functional symmetry in order to determine a person's risk for injury or return to sport readiness.

  4 weeks

Interventions

Plyometric training OTHER

Jumps in place. Some examples include multiple vertical jumps while reaching an overhead object, squat jump, pike jump, or tuck jump. * Standing jumps. Examples include the single leg jump, maximal vertical jump ,standing long jump or lateral long jump. * Multiple hops and jumps. Examples would include multiple long jumps or cone hops performed in succession, such as 5 hops in a row * Box drills. Examples of these drills include box jumps ,repeated box jumps, and single leg box jumps. * Depth jumps. Examples include stepping off the box and landing, stepping off the box and jumping vertically immediately after landing, or stepping off the box, landing, and sprinting.
