Abstract
Objective: To analyze the perceptions of Physical Education professionals about Chondromalacia Patellar lesion, as well as the clinical conduct for the treatment of this pathology. Methods: The research was descriptive and cross-sectional, developed by qualitative approach. Twelve professionals who graduated from the Physical Education - Bachelor Degree course, who worked as instructor / personal in the city Montes Claros-MG, were interviewed. Data collection was performed between August and September 2019. The instrument was the individual interview with semi-structured script, which was transcribed in full and, after transcription and reading of the reports, using the categorization method as data collection. Results: The most relevant interview ideas were selected and grouped into four categories. It was possible to evidence that the professionals do not seem to have a satisfactory knowledge of patellar chondromalacia, since they presented superficial responses or that do not agree with the present literature. Conclusion: It is concluded that although post-rehabilitation is an area of important performance for the field of Physical Education, it still lacks the necessary knowledge for their performance, which may or may not aggravate the pathological condition of the client. From this perspective, future studies should be conducted to investigate Patellar Chondromyacia and other health / rehabilitation related injuries.
