There is no scientific study in the literature regarding the use of different extracorporeal shock wave therapies (ESWT) in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. In this study, we aim to investigate both the effectiveness of ESWT and which type of ESWT can be more effective in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy.
