Post operative status of knee joint, we quite oftenly see loos of terminal knee extension. We routinely approach for VMO strengthening and electrical stimulation to VMO, Exs. However, we do not get optimal result during gait cycle. Functioning/playing without full knee extension motion can cause problems not only at the knee joint but also up […]
VMO and VL are synergists for knee but they act as an antagonists when it comes to patellar stabilization. They play a very crucial role in patellofemoral pain. Prevalence of PFPS in general population is 25% and 60% among athletes. Theoretically it has been assumed that ratio of VMO: VL is 1:12 in ideal condition, […]
We see in routine practice when time to check EHL MMT. Patient fails to distinguish many time and they do ankle dorsiflexion along with toe extension. There is lack of disassociation of toe extension and ankle dorsiflexion. Many patient when asked to lift their toes, will drive into ankle dorsiflexion; ask them to just purely […]
Elements of Shoulder Instability
Myofascial release word is very popular now days. There are many fancy tools are available to release the fascia. From the tool box of fascia releasing technique , we share our knowledge on foam rolling . This foam rolling we use as self myofascial release. This Self myofascial release (SMR)technique shines in physio industry as […]
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, […]
