The accomplishment of a treatment with Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis of additional form to the accomplishment of eccentric exercise's program in patients with chronic patellar tendinopathy is more effective than the accomplishment of an additional treatment with dry needling or eccentric exercise's program realized of isolated form.
Experimental study randomized with double blind, whose purpose is to compare three protocols in those who apply different protocols of physical therapy to themselves in three groups of intervention with patients with chronic patellar tendinopathy. There take part in this study young women of both sexes, of Zaragoza and of different sports clubs of entity 18 and 40 years, that they realize of habitual form (minimum 3 times a week) a sport. All of them present chronic patellar tendinopathy.

Change from baseline in functionality at 8 weeks as measured by Visa-p
This scale consists of eight questions, the first six questions of which employ an analogical visual scale in order to assign a score of 0 to 10, where 10 represents the optimum state, for the purpose of quantifying pain and function in different activities, whereas the last two questions assess the level of functionality and ability to perform physical activity.
Time frame: 8 weeks
