Cervical spine Clinical anatomy & Motor control Part 1
Certainly, in the literature, there is mounting evidence of an association between chronic mechanical neck pain and altered neuromuscular control” (O’Leary, Falla & Jull., 2011, p.452). There was a lot of research regarding deficits in the deep cervical neck flexor muscles(DCNF) – longus colli and longus capitus. Further research has investigated in the presence of motor […]
Shoulder impingement syndrome : Contribution of scapula
The shoulder is a ball and socket synovial joint . The shoulder is such a fascinating joint with 180 degrees of freedom, which relies on excellent dynamic movement. How should we use it in the diagnosis of shoulder pain? In early 1980, Neer et all describes Shoulder impingement and researched for many years and some […]

Warning bells for gluteus inhibition
What does inhibited mean? The neural input to a muscle is lowered .The muscle still works but it’s not as efficient to generate power. To generate power during movement. Therefore it appears weak!! The body finds balance to complete movement task but unfortunately it finds another way for muscle in the movement pattern to do […]
Core stability : Local as well as Global musculature
What is core ? It is a muscular box with the abdominals in the front, paraspinals and gluteals in the rear, the diaphragm at the top, and the pelvic floor and hip girdle musculature at the bottom. Within the “box” multiple muscles help to stabilize thespine and pelvis as well as transmit forces through the […]
Plantar fasciitis : proximal instability
Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common foot condition treated by health care providers.This painful condition can cause impairment of activity and disability.Patients usually report pain after palpation of the proximal insertion of the plantar fascia and plantar medial heel, and the pain is most noticeable when patients begin walking after a period of inactivity.Clinicians […]
A sophisticated approach for plantar fasciitis
Plantar Fascia is a broad, dense band originating from anterior aspect of calcaneal tuberosity in form of 3 bands namely medial, central and lateral and inserting after dividing into 5 digital bands at metatarsophalangeal joints. It plays vital role in supporting the arch of foot and act as a shock absorber. Plantar Fasciitis is an […]
