Reasearch review : Etiology of Patello femoral pain (PFP) is multifactorial. factors which contribute PFP are abnormal alignment of the patella – increase in patellofemoral joint stress. Excessive pronation of the foot which create compensation in lower extremity. By consideration of kinetic chain, the concept of a link between the the foot and PFP is also […]
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) has commonly been thought of as an overuse injury in runners. The exact etiology of ITBS is not well understood and there is no consensus on how to properly manage it. The purpose of this case series is to present a comprehensive model that utilizes a review of the current literature […]
The most common foot pathology is proximal plantar fasciitis, also known as plantar heel pain. Patients with plantar fasciitis (PF) typically present with plantar heel pain that is worse with the first few steps out of bed or from a seated position. This situation gradually becomes worse with increasing weightbearing activities. On clinical examination, Plantar […]
we previously written about impingement and contribution of scapula now in this article you will understand how to differentiate impingement type. Shoulder impingment ios usually common terminology in shoulder pain that we oftnly use in our daily practice. We usually label any pain originated around shoulder we directly say its ” Shoulder impingement” The use […]
Structure of a Cell: The human body is comprised of 4 cell types epithelial cells, muscle cells, nerve cells and connective tissue cells. Each cell type are found in all cells. They have their unique modifications to components that give the cell type its unique attributes. Name of Structure Function in Muscle Nuclei The nuclei contain all genetic material (DNA), allowing for replication, […]
Definition:It refers to the measurement of angles created at human joints by the bones of the body. Why Goniometry? In rehab and sports performance settings, goniometry is most often used to refine exercise or intervention selection. Relevant goniometric assessments highlight hypo-mobility in osteokinematic range of motion, implying which release, flexibility and mobility techniques may be appropriate. In essence, goniometry will assist the practitioner in building a more refined flexibility/mobility routine. Less often, goniometry will […]
Clinical comentry: Different sports place different demands on the knee. Achieving quad symmetry (greater than 90%) as well as waiting for 9 months has a significant reduction in the risk of re-injury.Clearly there is something to do with natural healing of the graft and tunneled bone. However, allowing time without strengthening adequately also has its […]
The benefits of Motion control running shoes have been shown, in numerous scientific studies since past decaded. The literature shows that it is use to reduce rearfoot pronation, reduce internal tibial rotation, reduce longitudinal arch flattening and reduce fatigue in lower extremity muscles.Motion control running shoes are those running shoes which contain higher durometer dual-density […]
We know that we have 3 systems that keep us upright against the gravitational plane: 1) The visual system 2) The vestibular system 3) The proprioceptive system. As we grow, we seem to become more dependent upon the visual system to maintain stability of the head. Older people seem to be less stable than younger ones, […]
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a painful and disabling condition of the foot and lower extremity that most commonly affects women over the age of 60. The main pathology of PTTD is thought to begin with some form of internal damage to the posterior tibial (PT) tendon. The tendon may develop a partial tear, […]
