Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
VISA-P: Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment: This validated score evaluates pain, function and sportspractice.A score of 100 gives an optimal knee without symptoms (Zwerver 2009). When there is pain in both knees than the score is for the most painful side.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Pain pressure threshold: The pain pressure threshold is determined by a dolorimetre on the most painful part of the patellatendon. In this position the dolorimetre is read off a qauntity of Newton. VAS: Visual Analogue scale for pain: patient gives a number on a scale from 0-10 whereas 0= no pain and 10= terrible pain. We take this score after 10 times on a declineboard of 25 degrees, the triple hop test and the maximal jump test (Zwerver 2010) Likert score: functional score of improvement of symptoms.	—
