Comprehensive assessment of heavy slow resistance training and high-dose therapeutic ultrasound in managing patellar tendinopathy, a randomized single-blind controlled trial
Both exercise intervention and high-dose TUS appear effective in reducing pain and improving motor function in individuals with PT. However, the therapeutic effect of high-dose TUS alone seems limited compared to exercise intervention. The combined application of both methods yielded the most significant improvements in pain relief and motor function enhancement.
