Chondromalacia, also known as ?runner?s knee,? is a condition where the cartilage on the undersurface of the patella (kneecap) deteriorates and softens. This condition is common among young, athletic individuals, but may also occur in older adults who have arthritis of the knee. Resting, stabilizing, and icing the joint may be the first line of treatment. The cartilage damage resulting in runner?s knee can often repair itself with rest. Physiotherapy focusing on strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, and abductors can help improve your muscle strength and balance. Muscle balance will help prevent knee misalignment. Typically recommended are Non-weight-bearing exercises, such as swimming or riding a stationary bike. Additionally, isometric exercises that involve tightening and releasing your muscles can help to maintain muscle mass. Some Precautions: Avoid repeated stress to your kneecaps. Wear kneepads if you have to spend time on your knees. Create muscle balance by strengthening your quadriceps, hamstrings, abductors, and adductors. Wear shoe inserts that correct flat feet by increasing your arch. This will decrease the amount of pressure placed on your knees and may realign the kneecap. Finally, excess body weight may stress your knees. Maintaining a healthy body weight can help take pressure off the knees and other joints. Please consult a Physiotherapist privately for detail assessment and management of your condition. Best wishes.
