Official Title: Effect of Activity Modification and Exercises in Young Adolescents With Osgood Schlatter Disease.

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of activity modification, exercises and a gradual return to sport in adolescents (age 10-14) with Osgood Schlatter disease. The primary outcome is self-reported recovery on a 7-point Likert scale at 3 months. Secondary endpoints include 4 and 8 weeks and 6 and 12 months after inclusion into the project. The adolescents will be recruited from primary schools, general practitioners and through online advertising on Facebook.

Sponsor: Aalborg University

Current Primary Outcome: Self-reported recovery on a 7-point Likert scale [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Self-reported recovery on a 7-point Likert scale [ Time Frame: 4 and 8 weeks + 6 and 12 months after inclusion. ]
  • Self-report questionnaire "Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score" [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks + 6 and 12 months after inclusion. ]
  • Isometric hip and knee extension strength assessed using a strap-mounted dynamometer [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Pressure pain thresholds at tuberositas patella, center of patella and lateral elbow assessed by a hand held pressure algometer. [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Thigh circumference measured using tape measure. [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Vertical jump for height [calculated as the difference between reach height and maximal jump height. This will be measured using a ruler] [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Single leg jump for distance (defined as the maximal length the subject can jump on one leg. Measured using a ruler). [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Flexibility of the hamstrings and quadriceps [measured using goniometer]. [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]

  • Isometric hip and knee extension strength [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Pressure pain thresholds at tuberositas patella, center of patella and lateral elbow. [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Thigh circumference [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Vertical jump for height [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • One legged distance jump. [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
  • Flexibility of the hamstrings [ Time Frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks after inclusion. ]
