The posterolateral corner of the knee (PLC) is a very complex region both anatomically and functionally. In fact, the PLC of the knee plays a vital role in both static and dynamic stability to prevent excessive hyperextension, tibial external rotation, and varus angulation There is 16% of knee ligament injuries to the PLC of the […]
Depending on particular task certain muscles required for stabilization and others as mobilizers for shoulder girdle balance For movement optimization as well as joint centralization , a perfect balance of mobilizer and stabilizer required.Upper cross syndrome is good example of muscles imbalance. In Upper cross syndrome, shoulder are protracted and a head-forward carriage which lead […]
A thorough understanding of the many muscle limitations caused by arthritis should enable us to create rehabilitation and exercise regimens for people with knee arthritis that are more effective. ⇒Quadriceps muscle strength Quadriceps strength deficiency is well-documented in several literary works. In a previously published article, it was noted that the quadriceps strength losses ranged […]
Before following the treatment part for sciatica based on a faulty movement pattern, read our previous blog here. Treatment: Start with a knee to chest exercise because when the hip is relatively stiff, excessive load is generated in the lumbar spine. lack of movement occurs at the hip during the stance phase. without opening the […]
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is defined as “a condition of uncertain aetiology, characterised by significant restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder”Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is a condition of unknown etiology that results in the development of restriction of […]
In 1998[5,] the SEBT was first described.The SEBT may identify deficiencies in lower limb postural control. Moreover, comparing populations with injuries and healthy controls. The SEBT may be used to compare balance skills and performance across various sports. This test may be used as a sport participation screening tool as well as a post-rehabilitation test […]
Sciatica is often described as mild to intense low back pain that travels into the left or right leg. Radiculopathy can occur when a spinal nerve root is compressed (nerve compression) such as from a low back disc rupture (lumbar herniated disc) or bone spur (osteophyte) in the lumbar spine prior to it joining the […]
“Power is nothing without control” The basic goal in rehabilitation is to restore and enhance function within the environment and to perform specific activities of daily living (ADL). The entire rehabilitation process should be focused on improving the functional status of the patient. The concept of functional training is not new, nor is it limited […]
Many times you heared from your patient that I have very tight hip. What we would prefer to call it is anterior hip tightness/pain/dysfunction as we feel that hip needs to be address as an entire functional unit, not a single muscle. How to manage with anterior hip pain !! There are two approach for the […]
Here, we make you understand hip abduction movement in simple way. We oftnely talked about movement pattern. When you are observing someone from behind and observe that your patient calcanum adduct as they get to terminal stance and pre swing (just before they toe off),sometimes it called adductor twist. How can the quadriceps be involved? […]
