Jumper's knee is a general description to cover a number of knee problems. Athletes develop knee pain usually in the lower patella and describe it as jumper’s knee. It is an overused name for a disease. Careful examination will disclose a number specific conditions such as bursitis, meniscal injuries or Chondromalacia (1) or other Runner2.gif (2102 bytes)

causes of the patellofemoral pain syndrome. The best way to accurately diagnose jumper’s knee is by using ultrasonography. Chondromalacia pain usually occurs after physical activities. The diagnosis of jumper's knee is usually easily established by a doctor after a detailed history and performed by physical examination, The complaint can be locally identified and a specific diagnosis of Chondromalacia can be made. As mentioned, the problem is usually occurring at the lower pole of the patella. but the lesion can be mistaken for other disorders The time and cost to properly diagnosis the Chondromalacia, is normally not worth it. The injury requires rest and the discomfort will usually cause the participant to rests his knee. Conservative therapy is used most after treatment in the early stages and includes adequate warm-up, stretching of the quadriceps muscle. Physical activity is limited because of the pain, and ice pack application after activity. After the pain ceases physical activity can begin. NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and local peritendinitis injections with long-acting steroids can be a helpful.

The key to Goode Wraps is the rare-earth semi-conductor used in the patented massage cones. These cones are silk screened to the material. The cones conduct out the excess electricity present when a muscle is injured. The Goode Wraps relax muscles and tendons.

The big differences between Patellar Tendinitis and Chondromalacia is the method of locating the pain. With Patellar Tendinitis you can locate the pain in the knee cap by using a pencil and moving it around. With Chondromalacia the pain is difficult to locate and you have to move you hand around the knee cap to locate the pain. Tendinitis sufferers are much better able to locate the pain. Whereas people with chondromalacia may rub their fingers up, down, and around the knee to indicate where it hurts, when you have tendinitis you can put a fingertip right on the spot. It's so tiny and specific that you can put the tip of a ballpoint pen right on the spot and just about levitate yourself into the air with pain. And that spot is right at the bottom of the kneecap, where the tendon that goes on to connect to the shinbone begins--hence the name, patellar tendinitis. It's also called jumper's knee, as it was first described in the takeoff leg of high jumpers. But it turns out that basketball players probably have more jumper's knee than anybody else. You also see it in dancers, runners (and it's very hard to deal with in runners, for some reason), volleyball players--anyone who runs and jumps regularly may suffer from it. And, like chondromalacia, it sneaks up on you, first hurting after your activity, then toward the end of the activity, then during, at the beginning, and finally all the time. It's not nearly as common as chondromalacia-nothing is--but it's more difficult to deal with. It's probably the second most frequent knee injury.\
