Abstract des Autors
Concurrent with the renaissance in bicycling has come an increase in associated injuries. The most common problem the author sees in his practice is knee pain - usually chondromalacia patellae, patellar tendinitis, or bursitis. The patellofemoral joint is under particular stress in bicycling, and many new recreational riders make two errors: setting the saddle too low and the gears too high. These mistakes cause excessive pressure on the patellofemoral joint. Obtaining the best-fitting bicycle and saddle, adjusting the saddle properly, and using lower gears will help prevent such problems. Verf.-Referat
