Like the basic static quads and one using the foam roller (sitting position). While doing the squats (standing), watch your knees and do not let them go beyond you toes to avoid straining the knees.

Not the most in depth information since there is a number of factors that play into rehabilitating jumper's knee. Most physical therapists and rehab programs for this injury suggests that the rehab should consist of heavy squatting and/or leg presses and include lifts of weights from around 15 RM (at first) down to 6 progressively over time in these 2 exercises done very slowly (some say 3 secs up and 3 down while some others will recommend 5 both ways and the concentric and eccentric movement)
