New Therapy for Knee Pain
In his dissertation, the sports scientist, Florian Rieder, from the University of Salzburg came to the conclusion that vibration training has a developing effect on the patellar tendon at the knee. Now, the FWF is funding a follow-up study that examines whether this training also helps as a therapy for knee pain due to degeneration of the patella tendon (tendinopathy). Participants are being sought for this Sports Medicine study.
