  <brief_summary>
    <textblock>
      Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is the common cause of anterior knee pain, particularly in sports&#xD;
      required repeated jumping and landing, such as volleyball. PT clinically presents as anterior&#xD;
      knee pain and localized tenderness at the patellar tendon. To evaluate the severity of&#xD;
      symptoms of PT, the VISA-P questionnaire is a self-administered, well-validated, and&#xD;
      widespread assessment tool. In the long term, athletes would land with knee avoidance&#xD;
      patterns and transfer the load to the hip joint caused further hip-related injury. Lower&#xD;
      extremities eccentric exercise has been proven the most beneficial treatment of PT. However,&#xD;
      the course lasts for three to six months. For athletes who are still in season, it's&#xD;
      difficult to get the immediate effect. A newly developed biomechanical taping, dynamic tape,&#xD;
      considered to be beneficial for load absorption during muscle eccentric contraction during&#xD;
      landing and further normalized the lower extremities load contribution by its viscoelasticity&#xD;
      property. However, no past research has confirmed this effect.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Therefore, the aims of the study are to translate the English VISA-P questionnaire to the&#xD;
      Chinese and to study the reliability and validity of the Chinese version. In the next part,&#xD;
      the investigators investigate the different landing biomechanics between individuals with and&#xD;
      without patellar tendinopathy and establish the reliability of different landing tasks, and&#xD;
      further explore whether the dynamic tape alters landing biomechanics in volleyball players.&#xD;

    <textblock>
      Patellar tendinopathy is one of the most common causes of anterior knee pain, particularly&#xD;
      common in sports that required repeated jumping and landing, such as volleyball and&#xD;
      basketball. Patellar tendinopathy clinically presents as anterior knee pain and localized&#xD;
      tenderness at the patellar tendon. To evaluate the severity of symptoms of patellar&#xD;
      tendinopathy, the VISA-P (Victorian institution of sports assessment- patellar tendon)&#xD;
      questionnaire is an easily self-administered, well-validated assessment tool and commonly&#xD;
      used across several countries. In the long term, athletes would land with knee avoidance&#xD;
      landing patterns and transfer the load to the hip joint, which caused the further hip-related&#xD;
      injury. Lower extremities eccentric contraction exercise has been proven the most beneficial&#xD;
      treatment of patellar tendinopathy. However, the course of treatment needs to last for three&#xD;
      to six months. For athletes who are still in season, it's difficult to get the immediate&#xD;
      effect. A newly developed biomechanical taping, dynamic tape, considered to be beneficial for&#xD;
      load absorption during muscle eccentric contraction during landing and further normalized the&#xD;
      lower extremities load contribution by its viscoelasticity property. However, no past&#xD;
      research has confirmed this effect.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Therefore, the aims of this study are to translate the English VISA-P questionnaire to&#xD;
      Chinese and to study the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the VISA-P. In&#xD;
      the next part of the study, the investigators investigate the different landing biomechanics&#xD;
      between individuals with and without patellar tendinopathy and establish the reliability of&#xD;
      different landing tasks, and further explore whether the dynamic tape alters landing&#xD;
      biomechanics in volleyball players. Methods: The first part of the study will include 15&#xD;
      subjects with the symptoms of patellar tendinopathy and 15 healthy subjects to fill out the&#xD;
      translated questionnaire. In the second part of the study will include 15 volleyball players&#xD;
      with the symptoms of patellar tendinopathy and 15 healthy controls. To compare the landing&#xD;
      biomechanics between two groups, all subjects will conduct three landing tasks and the&#xD;
      kinematics and kinetics of lower extremities、loading rate of vertical ground force and&#xD;
      patellar tendon force will be recorded. In the third part of the study, the investigators&#xD;
      will recruit 50 volleyball players with the symptoms of patellar tendinopathy and randomly&#xD;
      assign to two groups, the dynamic tape, and sham tape. After taping, subjects will conduct&#xD;
      three landing tasks, and the landing biomechanics will be recorded. Statistical analysis:&#xD;
      Intra-class correlation, Pearson's correlation, and Mann-Whitney test will be used to analyze&#xD;
      the test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and construct validity of the Chinese&#xD;
      version VISA-P. Repeated measures MANOVA will be used to analyze the interaction of landing&#xD;
      biomechanics in three landing tasks between patellar tendinopathy group and healthy control,&#xD;
      and further, analyze the interaction in three landing tasks between the dynamic tape and sham&#xD;
      tape group in landing biomechanics parameters. Alpha level= 0.05&#xD;
